Описание:
Islandia, 1686.
Tras su inesperado compromiso matrimonial con Jon Eriksson, Rosa abandona su hogar para instalarse en la remota e inhуspita aldea de Stykkisholmur. Pero sus nuevos vecinos desconfнan de los forasteros. Sobre todo, de una mujer que, como ella, procede de los misteriosos umbrales de la civilizaciуn.
Pero Rosa tambiйn abriga sus sospechas. Su marido enterrу a su primera esposa solo y en plena noche. Jon se niega a hablar de ello, pero le regala una figurilla de cristal cuyo significado Rosa no entiende. Los lugareсos los miran no solo con recelo, sino con temor. Murmuran siniestras amenazas. Rosa intuye la presencia del mal. Aislada y lejos de su hogar, ve cernerse sobre ella la oscuridad. Y teme ser su prуxima vнctima.
Con la Islandia del siglo XVII como escenario, con su trasfondo de juicios por brujerнa y turbulencias volcбnicas, La mujer de cristal es un relato poderoso y apasionante acerca de la supersticiуn y la salvaciуn, el amor y el miedo.
"The story of true innocents caught up in the machinery of war. Exquisitely researched, beautifully told, this tiny corner of Scotland came alive for me in all of my senses and I found myself rooting for the central characters with all my heart." --Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes
In the dark days of World War II, an unlikely romance blossoms between a Scottish woman and an Italian prisoner of war in this haunting novel with the emotional complexity of The Boat Runner and All the Light We Cannot See--a powerful and atmospheric story of love, jealousy, and conscience that illuminates the beauty of the human spirit from the author of The Glass Woman.
In the wake of the Allies' victory in North Africa, 500 Italian soldiers have been sent to a remote island off the Scottish coast to wait out the war. Their arrival has divided the island's community. Nerves frayed from three years of war and the constant threat of invasion, many locals fear the enemy prisoners and do not want them there.
Where their neighbors see bloodthirsty enemies, however, orphaned sisters Dorothy and Constance see sick and wounded men unused to the freezing cold of an Orkney winter, and volunteer to nurse them. While doing so Dorothy finds herself immediately drawn to Cesare, a young man broken by the horrors of battle.
But as the war drags on, tensions between the islanders and the outsiders deepen, and Dorothy's connection to Cesare threatens the bond she shares with Constance. Since the loss of their parents, the sisters have relied on each other. Now, their loyalty will be tested, each forced to weigh duty against desire . . . until, one fateful evening, a choice must be made, one that that will have devastating consequences.

Shortlisted for the Historical Writers Association Debut Crown Award
In the tradition of Jane Eyre and Rebecca--The Glass Woman by Caroline Lea in which a young woman follows her new husband to his remote home on the Icelandic coast in the 1680s, where she faces dark secrets surrounding the death of his first wife amidst a foreboding landscape and the superstitions of the local villagers.
"Gripped me in a cold fist. Beautiful." --Sara Collins, author of The Confessions of Frannie Langton
"An Icelandic Jane Eyre." --Sunday Times, London
R sa has always dreamed of living a simple life alongside her Mamma in their remote village in Iceland, where she prays to the Christian God aloud during the day, whispering enchantments to the old gods alone at night. But after her father dies abruptly and her Mamma becomes ill, R sa marries herself off to a visiting trader in exchange for a dowry, despite rumors of mysterious circumstances surrounding his first wife's death.
R sa follows her new husband, J n, across the treacherous countryside to his remote home near the sea. There J n works the field during the day, expecting R sa to maintain their house in his absence with the deference of a good Christian wife. What R sa did not anticipate was the fierce loneliness she would feel in her new home, where J n forbids her from interacting with the locals in the nearby settlement and barely speaks to her himself.
Seclusion from the outside world isn't the only troubling aspect of her new life--R sa is also forbidden from going into J n's attic. When R sa begins to hear strange noises from upstairs, she turns to the local woman in an attempt to find solace. But the villager's words are even more troubling--confirming many of the rumors about J n's first wife, Anna, including that he buried her body alone in the middle of the night.
R sa's isolation begins to play tricks on her mind: What--or who--is in the attic? What happened to Anna? Was she mad, a witch, or just a victim of J n's ruthless nature? And when J n is brutally maimed in an accident a series of events are set in motion that will force R sa to choose between obedience and defiance--with her own survival and the safety of the ones she loves hanging in the balance.
--Elizabeth Fremantle, author of Sisters of Treason
