Caroline Lea was born and raised in Jersey in the United Kingdom. The Glass Woman is her second novel. She lives in Warwick, England.
"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 "A powerful Second
World War love story. As tensions grow between the Italian PoWs and
the Orkney men, the scene is set for a dramatic reckoning. Lea
writes beautifully of island life and love, and the sacrifices that
both demand." -- Times, London"Transported me to Orkney during the
Second World War. Lyrical writing, a compelling plot and a very
strong sense of place--I loved it" -- Harriet Tyce, author of The
Lies You Told and Blood Orange"Atmospheric, heart-wrenching,
evocative--this is a gorgeously written story about the scars we
carry with us, and how they can be overcome." -- Gytha Lodge,
author of Watching from the Dark and She Lies in Wait"Piercing. . .
. Devastating and revelatory." -- New York Times Book Review on The
Glass Woman"Gripped me in a cold fist. Beautiful." -- Sara Collins,
author of The Confessions of Frannie Langton on The Glass Woman"A
fantastic, atmospheric debut." -- Times, London on The Glass
Woman"Lea brings to life a story inspired by real lives and events
of WWII in this captivating, harrowing tale of wartime survival and
sacrifice." -- Booklist"...evocative second novel...poetic
