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"
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 for ever...
