Description

The Glass House, Brooke Dunnell's debut novel, is a stunning portrayal of family and friendship, secrets and betrayal.

Relieved to take time out from her faltering marriage, Julia Lambett heads across the country to her hometown to help her father move into aged care. But moving an elderly man is easier said than done, especially when her father reveals that a guest has come to stay.

Soon after her return, Julia bumps into her childhood friend Davina. True to form, Davina takes a determined interest in all the things that Julia hoped she had left behind. Along with four decades of possessions to be managed and dispersed, Julia uncovers some long-forgotten, deeply unsettling memories.
