Father Gogarty's changing perceptions of the landscape he encounters during his frequent walks around a lake in a remote area of Ireland lead him to question some fundamental principles of the Catholic Church and to come to a more instinctive relationship with God. The afterword discusses Moore's literary style and the influence of Zola, Dujardin, and his own later writing which led to two revisions of The Lake.
