Description: The Glass Treehouse is the story of two families from entirely different backgrounds and the emotional bond that develops between them.  It takes place in the seventies -  a time when cultural and economic barriers could still be broken, when a middle-class American girl who follows a draft-dodger to Canada, could come to believe in the spiritual truth of a poor neighbour's visions.  Moving from Jenny's memories of her middle-class childhood, to the tragic events in her neighbour's life, Jacqueline Nugent has brought to life the atmosphere of the early seventies with all its hope and contradictions.
