The spellbinding SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER and RICHARD AND JUDY BOOKCLUB PICK about old family secrets.

'A captivating mystery: beautifully written, with a rich sense of place, a cast of memorable characters, and lots of deep, dark secrets' Kate Morton, bestselling author of The Clockmaker's Daughter

'Absolutely her best yet' Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

'A wonderful, romantic, compelling mystery. Eve Chase has something of the poet in her: her descriptions of a remote manor house nestling in an ancient forest are worth reading for themselves, but the plotline of The Glass House is utterly absorbing in its own right. We loved it' Richard and Judy Book Club

'The Glass House is not really about a murder, or a creepy house, but about families - the ones we're born into, the ones we make and especially the ones we flee' New York Times
_______

It's outside of my preferred genres, but I read it in one go and could not put it down. A beautiful and strange story about a complicated family. This book/story felt like a perfectly closed circle, with it's flashes from the past to the present in different people's POV's. Also, although a lot of the character's actions frustrated me it felt right and not over-dramatized, too. Also, concerning the plottwists: "Finally. Some good fucking food."

Loved the atmosphere, the forest theme and how everything came together eventually.

It took a bit to really get into the story with the different timelines but after the dots finally began to connect, it was gripping. All in all a good story with a big dark secret
