Why did Raina love this book?
Maeve Binchy is the author I most often turn to for solace in dark times. She is a natural storyteller with a rare generosity of spirit.
The Glass Lake, which I didn’t read until this year although it came out in 1994, is one of my favorites: it’s part mystery, part romantic drama, and partly a story about mothers, daughters, and the toll secrets take: there’s suspense and intrigue and shocking twists and sharp social critique, as well as laugh-out-loud humor and gentle acceptance of human nature in all its flawed glory.
It’s long but extremely well-paced and filled with strong female characters and intense personal sacrifices I will never forget.
