Derek Jones The Glass House - Eve Chase
Category: Fiction
Format: Epub/paperback
Finished: Yes
Rating: 8/10
Comments: A good read from start to finish. There is a very nice style of writing, very descriptive, so much so you can feel and smell the scene. This story is in two strands, the past and the present, so you have to pay attention as it does bounce about a bit. It soon becomes apparent that they are very much related, involving a nanny who looks after the two children of a wealthy businessman and his wife. She has become ill after a fire at their London home, and losing a child forces them to move to the family house in the forest where “stuff” happens that has a massive and troubling impact on everyone in the present day.
The nanny, Rita, along with one of the children she is caring for, stumble on an abandoned child that befriended Rita.
It turns out that there is much more to these intertwined characters, which come to a conclusion in an explosive and complicated result for all involved.
An excellent book by Eve Chase. Should I try another one of hers? Maybe?
