      An historical novel based on the life of pioneering photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron.

      What is a life without Art and Beauty?

      Not one that Julia chooses to live. And so she searches the world for both, discovering happiness through the lens of a camera.

      A fictional account of pioneer photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, and her extraordinary quest to find her own creative voice, The Glass House brings an exceptional photographer to life. From the depths of despair, with her relationships strained and having been humiliated by the artists she has given a home to, Julia rises to fame, photographing and befriending many of the day’s most famous literary, artistic, political and scientific celebrities.

      But to succeed as a female photographer, she must take on the Victorian patriarchy, the art world and, ultimately, her own family. And the doubts are not all from others. As Julia’s uneasy relationship with fame grows into a fear that the camera has taken part of her soul, her search leads her full circle, back to India, in her lifelong quest for peace and beauty.

      A poignant, elegant and richly detailed debut.
