Her task: to fill a greenhouse with exotic plants from Kew Gardens, to create a private paradise for the owner of Shadowbrook. Yet, on arrival, Clara hears rumours: something is wrong with this quiet, wisteria-covered house. Its gardens are filled with foxgloves, hydrangea and roses; it has lily-ponds, a croquet lawn - and the marvellous new glasshouse awaits her. But the house itself feels unloved. Its rooms are shuttered, or empty. The owner is mostly absent; the housekeeper and maids seem afraid. And soon, Clara understands their fear: for something - or someone - is walking through the house at night.  In the height of summer, she finds herself drawn deeper into Shadowbrook's dark interior - and into the secrets that violently haunt this house.  Nothing - not even the men who claim they wish to help her - is quite what it seems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReminiscent of Daphne du Maurier, this is a wonderful, atmospheric Gothic page-turner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA deeply absorbing, unputdownable ghost story that's also a love story; for readers who love Sarah Waters's \u003ci\u003eThe Little Stranger\u003c\/i\u003e; Frances Hodges Burnett's \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Garden\u003c\/i\u003e; Margaret Atwood's \u003ci\u003eAlias Grace\u003c\/i\u003e; Jane Harris's \u003ci\u003eThe Observations\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virago","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44891640496357,"sku":"NP9780349007649","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_275a59b0-1c64-4124-a792-74e142d39014.jpg?v=1773102709","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/house-of-glass-isbn-9780349007649","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
