The Glass Lake is a novel by Maeve Binchy. It is a juxtaposition of a family in Ireland and the mother who left that family to live with her lover in England.
[edit] Plot introduction
Set in the 1950s, it is an exploration of cultural Ireland Catholics outside of the conflicts between the Protestants and Catholics. As with many of Binchy’s novels the middle-working class girls struggle with the upper class young men.
[edit] Plot summary
Accidental pregnancy and secret love affairs abound. Kit and Cleo grow from giggling schoolgirls to women embarking on careers while Kit’s mother Helen creates a new life for herself with her lover Louis Grey.
