A quiet Irish town is rocked by news: a body has been found in a lake. It's impossible to identify, but it's likely the pharmacist's wife, who disappeared a month ago and who loved to stroll along the shore in the evenings. She was strange, this Helen, perpetually sad, even though it seemed she lacked so much: a beautiful woman herself, a devoted husband, two children...

Twelve-year-old Kit discovers her mother's suicide note and burns it without reading: what if it's a confession of her intention to take her own life? After all, suicides aren't buried in consecrated ground. And only years later will Kit have the chance to discover what really happened to Helen...

Irish writer and journalist Maeve Binchy (1940–2012) became famous worldwide after the publication of her first novel, Light a Candle. Binchy's books have been translated into dozens of languages, and their combined circulation exceeds 40 million copies. In 1998, Crystal Lake became the best-selling book in Ireland. Like Binchy's celebrated bestseller, The House on Tara Road, it celebrates strong women in search of happiness. It's a gripping, true, and poignant story of love, betrayal, and redemption.
