The Glass Treehouse

de Jacqueline Nugent

The Glass Treehouse is the story of two families from entirely different backgrounds and the emotional bond that develops between them. It takes place in the seventies - a time when cultural and economic barriers could still be broken, when a middle-class American girl who follows a draft-dodger to Canada, could come to believe in the spiritual truth of a poor neighbour's visions. Moving from Jenny's memories of her middle-class childhood, to the tragic events in her neighbour's life, Jacqueline Nugent has brought to life the atmosphere of the early seventies with all its hope and contradictions.
