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

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
