Description
Iceland, 1686. The brutal, lava-scarred landscape can swallow a man without so much as a volcanic gasp.
Jon Eiriksson has just married his second wife in a year. But Rosa's new home in the windswept village of Stykkisholmur is terrifyingly isolated - the villagers are suspicious of strangers and fearful of something which they will not name.
What is Rosa's new husband secret, and why does the spectre of his first wife Anna haunt them so?
Set against the backdrop of the seventeenth-century Icelandic witch trials, in a land governed by religion and fear, THE GLASS WOMAN is addictive, breathtaking, and perfect for readers of BURIAL RITES and THE SILENT COMPANIONS.

Media Reviews
Haunting, evocative and utterly compelling. The beautifully drawn narrative transports the reader to a time and place steeped in mystery and superstition, where nothing is ever quite as it seems. Stunning -- Tracy Borman, author of 'The King's Witch'
