Synopsis
'This is a committed and compassionate work which I read in one sitting-it introduces a fresh new voiceand I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it to readers.I enjoyed it very much.' Patrick McCabe "Then the leaves whispered, the branches creaked. Something was up above, watching.Hello?She could feel eyes upon her. She knew she was not alone anymore: Who, 'This is a committed and compassionate work which I read in one sitting-it introduces a fresh new voiceand I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it to readers.I enjoyed it very much.' Patrick McCabe "Then the leaves whispered, the branches creaked. Something was up above, watching.Hello?She could feel eyes upon her. She knew she was not alone anymore: Who's there?Then a voice came back to her: You found me. After all this time." The Glass Door is a haunting investigation into the deep, complex and often frightening labyrinth of the human mind, where three generations of Irish women learn to tread the difficult path of reconciling individual identity with social approval. It is a novel about absence and brokenness and longing, and a small and fractured family trying to figure things, and each other, out. Set in the 1970s and 80s between the east coast of Ireland and London, Rosie's story unfolds as she and her unwed mother Sandra chase her reluctant father across the sea, where he slips through their grasp and disappears, leaving emptiness in Rosie's hand where a work-roughened palm should be. Mother and daughter are forced by failure and poverty to return home to the bitter embrace of Rosie's grandmother, Marie, whose love for her daughter and granddaughter is poisoned by her desire for social acceptance. But the strange child Rosie grows increasingly stranger, especially at night, when her unpredictable behaviour becomes both frightening and dangerous. Sandra, coming under growing pressure, both from Marie and the society she lives in, must find a new man to take Rosie's father's place. But once she does things only get worse for her and Rosie. After years spent enduring years an increasingly disturbed home life, everything comes to a deadly climax. R.M. Clarke began her career as an actress in 2006, later moving into voiceover and writing. Her stories have been published in The Irish Times, Spontaneity, Losslit, The Open Pen Anthology and written for Dublin 2020. Her debut novel, The Glass Door, won the 'Discovery' award at the Dalkey Book Festival and The Irish Writers Centre Greenbean Novel Fair 2016. She is editor of and contributor to The Broken Spiral anthology in aid of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, published in 2017 with the assistance of Dublin UNESCO City of Literature. She was part of the 2018 XBorders: Accord writing project in association with the Irish Writers Centre and Arts Council Northern Ireland. She holds a BA and the Gold Medal in English from Trinity College Dublin. She lives in Wicklow.
