"The Glass House tells the story of Vanessa and her sisters, Lucy and Bryony, whose engineer father works abroad, returning at only sporadic intervals. Their unpredictable yet magnetic mother, Mary, dominates them both physically and emotionally, yet to the outside world they seem like a normal, middle-class Scottish family. Vanessa focuses on her mother above everything, moving further and further into a world of self-deception and emotional isolation. Unable to express love, yet longing for a sense of connection, she struggles to make sense of her relationships with the people around her."
"Vanessa finds escape out on the hills behind her home together with Alan who she has known since childhood. The pair are deeply drawn to each other - but in the stifling environment of this dysfunctional family, Vanessa craves her mother's acceptance and will do almost anything to get it."--Jacket.
