«El lago de cristal» is the contemporary fiction novel by Maeve Binchy, published in paperback by Círculo de Lectores in 1998 (576 pages, in Spanish).
The story takes place in the Irish village of Lough Glass. Kit, daughter of pharmacist Martin, leads an apparently perfect life; her mother Helen is unhappy and often walks alone by the lake. One stormy night, Helen disappears and the community reacts to the event, which reveals family secrets and strains neighborly ties.

For readers of contemporary fiction who enjoy family stories, secrets and rural Irish settings.

Her novels, which were translated into 37 languages, sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Her death at age 73, announced by Vincent Browne on Irish television late on 30 July 2012, was mourned as the death of one of Ireland's best-loved and most recognisable writers.
