Product Description:
Night after night the beautiful woman walked beside the serene waters of Lough Glass. Until the day she disappeared, leaving only a boat drifting upside down on the unfathomable lake that gave the town its name. Ravishing Helen McMahon, the Dubliner with film-star looks and unfulfilled dreams, never belonged in Lough Glass, not the way her genial pharmacist-husband Martin belonged, or their spirited daughter Kit. Suddenly, she is gone and Kit is haunted by the memory of her mother, seen through a window, alone at the kitchen table, tears streaming down her face. Now Kit, too, has secrets: of the night she discovered a letter on Martin’s pillow and burned it, unopened. The night her mother was lost. The night everything changed forever…
From the Paperback edition.
Amazon.com Review:
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. A sly, seductive, and compulsively readable book, perfect for rainy afternoons and late nights in bed.

There was tragedy and sadness from unrequited loves. A loves B. B loves C. C loves others. The first 400 pages were sad and a little tedious to get through. The last 350 pages were wonderful! One georgeous man was shallow and evil, always having short-term love affairs. Another gorgeous man was wild with women when young, but was faithful and good when he finally ended up with the right woman.
CAUTION SPOILERS: It was a good reminder of how loving the wrong person can ruin one's ... Read More

This is still my favorite Binchy novel and I have read them all. The scope of these characters' stories, the decision moments that impact the rest of their lives and the lives of those around them is finely drawn. Weaving all the lives together with good pacing took real skill.

Although this novel really struck a chord with me by dealing with the "woman leaves comfortable home for love her life" bit, I found it all too similar to Tara Road, the only other Binchy novel I have read as of yet. "Handsome man runs around on the woman who is madly in love with him and she either doesn't notice or pretends not to". However, I found it refreshing that this one at least had other characters and storylines running to distract from how similar the Lena/Louis relationship was to the Ria/Danny ... Read More

This book is one of my favourite easy reads. I rarely re-read a book - but I have re-read this one many times. The characters are realistic and modern for their times. It is a good story line - maybe a little slow - but you can skip the bits that don't fit. Some reviewers have complained of the ending - I agree it was abrubt - but I liked it - it wasn't too sweet. I would recommend you try this book.

I loved Glass Lake. That is until I got to the end. Did Kit and Stevie get married. That was not clearly explained. I can guess, they did or guess that they did not. I wish I knew. A strange ending to a very good book.
