Summary

 'THE GLASS LAKE is Maeve Binchy at her spellbinding best - you'll never want it to end' Woman's Journal

'Maeve Binchy really knows what makes women tick. She crystallises their hopes, dreams and passions in her novels and now she has done it again in THE GLASS LAKE ... a marvellous read' Daily Mirror

Kit McMahon lives in the small Irish town of Lough Glass, a place where nothing changes - until the day Kit's mother disappears and Kit is haunted by the memory of her mother, alone at the kitchen table, tears streaming down her face.

Now Kit, too, has secrets: of the night she discovered a letter and burned it, unopened. The night her mother was lost. The night everything changed forever...

Critic reviews

THE GLASS LAKE is Maeve Binchy at her spellbinding best - you'll never want it to end
Maeve Binchy really knows what makes women tick. She crystallises their hopes, dreams and passions in her novels and now she has done it again in THE GLASS LAKE ... a marvellous read
She is one of the few writers who can pull at your heartstrings ... The author's great skill is to draw you into the world she creates, so that reading her books is like gossiping with old friends
Maeve Binchy's work continues to inspire ... thought-provoking, warm and funny in equal measure
You can see why, for a legion of female readers, Maeve Binchy is a one-woman opiate of the people
Binchy is a consummate storyteller who involves the reader in the world she creates... Binchy is a Dickens: she writes about the dilemmas of human beings with a backdrop which describes the manners and morals of a society
Drama, humour, warmth and great characters - it's what we expect from Maeve Binchy, one of the world's best-loved writers
A great raconteur in life, this novel displays Binchy's impressive power of storytelling, with a plot that grows increasingly high stakes with every hundred pages. She has a gift with character too ... Unsurprisingly, THE GLASS LAKE is one of the all-time best-selling books in Ireland. It is wonderful to read a book that had me wanting to read "just one more page" (Jamie O'Connell, author of DIVING FOR PEARLS)

Great to have this old favourite book read on audible . Kate Binchy a good narrator.Just don’t understand why the story finished so abruptly. Just been back to the book and it would only have been a further half chapter to give it its proper ending. Why ruin the epic narration by it ending it at this place ? If you hadn’t read the book it didn’t make much sense. Wonder why this was done?
