Description

'Desire, class and Welsh nationalism prove a combustible combination in this brooding literary romance' Observer'At once a love story and a simmering tale of class, identity, and masculinity' i paper'Evokes North Wales in all its complexity, in water, resin and sky' Jessica Andrews_______Geth and Olwen live in different worlds. Olwen left North Wales for London to become a filmmaker and lives with her banker husband. Geth stayed in their rural hometown and works as a forester. They were in love once, but now they are strangers to each other.That is, until Olwen returns, moving into the lakeside house that Geth looks after for absent English owners; the house he has come to think of as his own. Before they know it, they find themselves pulled back together - back into the past and what could have been - or still could be. Taking us from the incendiary world of radical politics in Thatcher's Britain to the housing crisis of the present day, Glass Houses is a story about love and friendship, about class and rural life, and about the disappointments of those who leave and those who stay._______'A beautiful novel about class, first love and how places can define us' Good Housekeeping'A cinematic page-turner' Buzz Magazine
