About this book
'Distinct shades of Daphne du Maurier'
Sunday Independent
'Lyrical prose with ominous secrets saturating its deepest core' ALEX MARWOOD
THE WINDOW TO THE PAST CAN NEVER BE CLOSED...
1963: At the stark and isolated modernist mansion of controversial political philosopher Richard Acklehurst, the glittering annual New Year's Eve party has not gone quite as planned. Considered a genius by some, and something far darker by others, by the end of the evening Acklehurst will be dead in mysterious circumstances, casting a long shadow over the lives of his teenage daughters, Aisling and Stella.
1999: Richard Acklehurst's remains are defiled in the country graveyard where they have lain undisturbed for over thirty years, forcing his daughters to return to their childhood home where they must finally confront the complex and dark dynamic at the heart of their family.
Moving from the West of Ireland to Dublin, London, Florence and back,
The Glass House is a captivating and compelling tale of two sisters and their secrets, of love, regret and vengeance.
'Gorgeously atmospheric and darkly brooding' CAROLE HAILEY
