The Glass Lake is a sly, seductive and compulsively readable book, perfect for rainy afternoons and late nights in bed. In the tradition of her beloved novel Circle of Friends, Irish novelist Maeve Binchey offers a wonderful old-fashioned melodrama with a contemporary cast of compelling characters.

Book Description
A tangled, touching story of love, loss and misunderstanding from the number one bestselling author.

RELEASE NOTES:

I'm going to leave this in the church hall at the Tuesday coffee morning.


If you find this book, I hope you make a journal entry to let me know. You may remain anonymous if you prefer.

I received this in my NSS Halloween parcel. I read it years ago as a library copy (before I joined Bookcrossing and started a TBR pile!)but can't remember much about it, so will happily read it again. I enjoy Maeve Binchy's books. Thanks for sending it, jenatleisure.

In the 1950's, Kit McMahon is a young woman living in a small town beside a lake, who believes her mother has committed suicide. When when a friend of her mother's in London starts writing wonderful letters to her, a friendship blooms. Binchy's characters come alive and she has captured the people, the time and the place perfectly. You live the lives of the characters and can feel their joys and anxieties.

I think this is one of Maeve Binchy's best and I enjoyed re-reading it.

Thanks again, jenatleisure.

N.B. Different cover illustration to that shown above.
