Cool, practical, and deliberate, John is dreamy Arlyn's polar opposite. Yet the two are drawn powerfully together even when it is clear they are bound to bring each other grief. Their difficult marriage leads them and their children to a house made of glass in the Connecticut countryside, to the avenues of Manhattan, and to the blue waters of the Long Island Sound. Glass breaks, love hurts, and families make their own rules. Ultimately, it falls to their grandson, Will, to solve the emotional puzzle of his family and of his own identity. Set against a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere, the novel blends realism with elements of the supernatural. With themes of family, longing, memory, and fate, Hoffman creates a tender and mysterious portrait of people searching for love and belonging.
