About this ebook
'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...

I read this book years ago. It touched my soul. I loved it so much that when I forgot its name. I had to describe it in good reads and someone reminded of its name. I love Kit and would be proud to raise a daughter who grew to be strong and as sensible as she is despite the tragedy of her youth.

This is a stellar read such stories of different people in a small town and what unbelievable things can happen during a lifetime. It is an excellent book after reading you really feel satisfied as if you were really a part of the lives of the characters. Truly splendid!

I loved this book years ago, to have it on the phone is excellent. A good choice for my first e-book 😊
