I found this an absolutely fascinating read. The two sisters lives and their secrets unfolding were shocking but the support they gave each other was commendable.

Set in two timelines this is a story of Richard who is really not a nice man. When he dies his two daughters feel a sense of freedom. They can now be their own person and live without judgement of who their father was.

I really enjoyed this read. I loved the kind of historical sense that this book gave me. it did bounce quickly between past and present and I had to go back a few times to think about where i was but that said it is a well written tale and I enjoyed my reading time.

I read the glass house but to be honest i found it a very busy book ,too much backwards and forwards now it is well written but just not to my taste .

The Glass House by Rachel Donohue begins in 1963 with the mercurial and controversial Richard Aklehurst's mysterious death. Aklehurst's published theories have made him notorious, a former friend of Oswald Mosley his social circle consists of like-minded individuals who enjoy his regular parties at his modernistic Glass House, which he shares with young daughters Aisling and Stella.
in 1999 Aklehurst's grave is vandalised and his body dug up, an event coinciding with a meeting of his admirers determined to bring his theories and ideas to a wider audience. Aisling and Stella return to their childhood home equally resolved to confront the dark secrets of the past.

The book explores the familiar theme of "the sins of the past" and is quite involving,though I felt it went a bit flat towards the end. Also Richard Aklehurst's past and beliefs are rather opaque, while his political leanings are quite obvious, and he's very obviously a vile and disturbing character, I'd have liked a bit more detail.
That said it's a good read,though I enjoyed the author's "The Temple House Vanishing" a lot more.

I found this quite a sad read .Aisling and Stella live in a modernistic house in West Ireland with their Father a cold narcissistic man with Nazi leanings. When he dies unexpectantly Aisling and Stella are free to live their lives but it is not as easy as they thought .Set in two timelines 1963 and 1999 and mostly told buy Aisling The Glass House is a story full of love secrets, lies and regret .Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC
