'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

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
