DESCRIPTION
'A devastatingly compelling new voice in literary fiction' - Louise O'Neill 'Desire, class and Welsh nationalism prove a combustible combination in this brooding literary romance' Observer
From the author of Voyeur comes this intimate and profound love story set in North Wales, where past and present collide. For readers of Megan Nolan, Sally Rooney and Tessa Hadley
'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.
