Maeve Binchy is a wonderful story teller. This is along complicated family tale. Her characters are so real that you can reach out and touch them. I recommend Maeve Binchy to whomever wants to be lost in a book.The glass Lake, Maeve Binchy The Glass Lake is a novel by Maeve Binchy. Similar to other Binchy novels, this book is set in a rural Irish village in the 1950s, as well as London. It is notable as the last of Binchy's novels to be set in the 1950s. The story focuses on Kit McMahon and her relationship with her mother with the story spanning about a decade. Binchy explores the roles of women in Irish society, inconstant lovers, and uses an operatic plot to hold a reader's attention.تاریخ نخستین
What a long and winding road! The people were better than the typical Binchy characters, and the fights and friendship between Clio and Kit was authentic indeed. Dear Lena. Awful Louis. And a moral: never choose a lover above your children...
3 Stars - Good book This book is quintessentially cozy to me. I wanted it to be a cool fall day, so I could curl up with this book and a pot of tea in a big, comfy chair. I felt as if I lived alongside the characters. Other reviews are out there that do a better job at describing this book than I can so Ill let you read their reviews. Do I recommend this one? Yes, I think I do.
WOW! ok so I really liked the beginning of this book. it was haunting & mysterious. and then i HATED one of the main characters. and i couldn't get over what an idiot she was. but i finished it. and it was only ok. and i don't recommend it to anyone! the only thing i liked about this book is that this horrible woman leaves her husband & family to be with another man... and it all falls apart with man #2. basically she gets what she deserves and regrets being an idiot. that was a TINY bit
2.5/3 stars Well, this should at least serve as an admonition to all women on how a MAN should never ever be the fulcrum around which a woman's life rotates, making him the centre of her universe. The story - my first Maeve Binchy book ever - is set in the 50s and revolves around the lives of various families in the small village of Lough Glass, Ireland, during a span of about 10 years. Among this rather extensive set of characters, stars Helen McMahon alias Lena Gray, a desperate woman whose
Kit McMahon is a young girl living in the small village of Lough Glass, where everyone knows each other. She is believed to live a charmed life - has a doting mother and father, a brother she gets on well with, many friends (including the shallow but vivacious Clio Kelly). One night Kit's mother Helen goes out walking and never comes back - after months of searching, a body is found and Kit mourns the mother she has lost. At the same time we start following the story of Lena Gray in London, an
