The Glass Room

by Simon Mawer

**** [4/5]

This book is based on a family who lives a a home with a glass room. The story follows the family through WWII and the other occupants of the home after they are forced to flee Poland. The story is woven around a real home with similar architectural features. I thought the author did a great job of pulling the reader into "the glass room" and making each of the sub-plots connect in interesting ways. A worthy read but a bit dark.
