The Glass Lake is an exceptional story., Avril 24 2002
Par Un client
Maeve Binchy really out did herself in The Glass Lake. In this novel, she tells the story of a small town in Ireland called Lough Glass. She writes about how the whole town is shook up by the disappearance of the local pharmacist's wife, Helen. She shows how the reactions of the citizens of Lough Glass affect the other characters in the story. Binchy demonstrates this well as she illustrates how Kit, Helen's daughter, copes with the tragedy and what the people in her town are saying about it. The many characters of Lough Glass, that make the story, help to engage the reader. The people in the story are very easy to relate to. The reader can see members of her own community in some of the characters. For example, Lough Glass had a town gossiper, know it all, wise women, and drunk. It also had many families and neighbors that made up the small town. As the reader goes on the journey, with the many characters, she is never lost. Binchy's writing is clear and easy to understand. The reader gets to watch each character grow over the many years that the story takes place. Throughout the book it is easy to become familiar with each character and get to know them. Just when the reader thinks they have all of the characters figured out, Binchy will throw in a surprise. Binchy tests several characters when they are faced with new problems and tough decisions. Their actions lead to many twists and turns in the storyline. The reader will be shocked and surprised several times throughout this book. She will be eager to read on to find out what is going to happen next. The story of Lough Glass is very compelling. It is impossible to put the book down. The reader must not let the 700 plus pages scare her away. The book will be over before the reader realizes it. When the book is finished, it is sad to see the characters go, and hard to not wish for more. I would defiantly recommend people to read this book.
