About this title

Review:

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.

Review:

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)

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 (DAILY EXPRESS)

Maeve Binchy's work continues to inspire ... thought-provoking, warm and funny in equal measure (Woman)

You can see why, for a legion of female readers, Maeve Binchy is a one-woman opiate of the people (Evening Standard)

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 (IRISH TIMES)

Drama, humour, warmth and great characters - it's what we expect from Maeve Binchy, one of the world's best-loved writers (WOMAN'S WEEKLY)
