As with other older Maeve Binchy novels, this is mostly a rites-of-passage novel set in a small Irish country town, Lough Glass. One day the young Kit's unhappy mother disappears, leaving a note which Kit destroys, not wanting to upset her father. Everyone assumes that she drowned in the lake, and life for Kit and the others goes on, but not without heartache as she grows up.
I was really engrossed in this book as it developed, looking forward to finding out the solutions to the various mysteries Binchy had set up. But as I got closer and closer to the end, with seemingly no real resolution to some of the issues, I found myself wondering how Binchy was going to tie up the book.
Then, in the last thirty pages, she rushed through several very major plot developments, reintroduced some characters and dealt with some serious emotional issues... in a very rushed and unsatisfactory manner. The pace had been leisurely throughout the rest of the book, and as such this really looked to me as if Binchy had suddenly realised that she was over her word limit and needed to tie up all the loose ends as briefly as possible. It didn't work, and really spoilt for me what could have been a wonderful book.

If you have never read a novel by Maeve Binchy, please make it your next priority. She is the most amazing author I have ever read, and believe me, I've read plenty! She completely wraps you up with her vivid descriptions of characters and the setting. By the time I put one of her novels down, which is after I've finished it, I feel as though I know each individual character as if I were their best friend, and have shared all their pain and happiness.
I am now on my fifth Binchy novel, and the best I have yet to read is this one. Not only did it, and all of her other novels I have read, make me laugh, I also shed tears of both happiness and sorrow. She has inspired me to love Ireland and I have decided to have my honeymoon there. I just can't put her down. Even while my brother and his wife, whom I rarely see, were visiting, bringing with them the news that I would become an aunt, I still found it necessary to escape to my room and finish this novel. I can't wait to finish the Binchy I'm reading and begin the next one!

I fell in love with this book the very first time that I read it and was so enchanted by it's story and characters that I have re-read it AT LEAST 8 times. This is the kind of novel that pulls the reader in...once you start reading you are almost instantly transported to the world of Lough Glass and you start forgetting that the characters in this book are not real people. I've had to buy another copy of this book because I wore out my first one! All I can say is THANK YOU Maeve Binchy for this spellbinding story and the warmth and love that radiates from every page.

A story with real detailed characters
I enjoyed this book a great deal. I felt that while I read this book I was getting to know the characters in the story.

So Tedious!
This book is annoying. Normally, I love Binchy and her wonderful characters. This time, I had to force myself to finish the book. I simply could not get into it. Lesen Sie weiter...

A great read
No one weaves characters like Maeve Binchy. This book hooked me from page 1 and I didn't want to put it down. That's the only problem with Binchy books... Lesen Sie weiter...

The best so far
I have read most of her books and so far this is the best! I highly recommend this if you like a good romance and characters you really care about.

You HAVE to read this book...it was absolutely fantastic! Definitely one of her best. It usually takes me a few pages to get into a book, but with The Glass Lake I was drawn in... Lesen Sie weiter...

Disappointment!
I enjoyed this book until the ending, when Maeve Binchy became tired of writing and decided to end her story in a few dismal pages that didn't do her character development justice. Lesen Sie weiter...
