Critics Review

Brilliant characterisation, beautiful and mesmerising story: like entering a dream. I was spellbound and couldn’t do anything else but keep reading

Brilliant characterisation, beautiful and mesmerising story: like entering a dream. I was spellbound and couldn’t do anything else but keep reading – Jill Dawson
A gorgeous, darkly gothic treat – Amanda Craig
House of Glass may start as a ghost story but turns into something much more profound: a lyrical examination of how women carve lives out of a male-dominated society, even with a war looming that will change everyone. I was surprised and moved – Tracy Chevalier
Magical and often extremely moving. A gem * Daily Mail *
Moody and atmospheric - and just as compelling [as Daphne du Maurier] … Tense, thrilling and a true page-turner * Image magazine *
Fletcher’s prose is dreamily sensual, full of the light and heat of an English summer, an eerie contrast to the shadows of the oncoming First World War … House Of Glass is a beautifully written, gloriously Gothic story of gardens, ghosts and old, uneasy grudges – Eithne Farry * Sunday Express *
With echoes of Daphne du Maurier, House of Glass is a mesmerising ghost story set in a dilapidated country house where things go bump in the night * Good Housekeeping *
A very satisfying read with a clever twist. I loved it * Four Shires *
Offers readers many of the pleasures of her earlier work … The novel is haunted by secondhand memories of empire and by trees and flowers transplanted from warmer climates, its version of England sustained and undermined by dependence on faraway places * Guardian *
As her heroine faces increasing dangers, Fletcher neatly changes the direction in which her story is heading. What seems initially a tale of the supernatural develops into something more * Sunday Times *
