"Urquhart's passion for the past and the land are at full poetic play in this
intricate story of love, loss, and memory."--Publisher's Weekly (starred review)

"Her language is vivid enough to take your breath away."--Boston Globe

"Urquhart writes with clear, sensuous poetry."--Times Literary Supplement
(United Kindgom)

Jane Urquhart's stunning new novel weaves two parallel stories, set a century apart.

Sylvia Bradley was rescued from her parents' house by marriage to a doctor whose care
has both nourished and imprisoned her. When she meets Andrew Woodman, a historical
geographer, her world changes through their devastating and ecstatic affair.

A year after Andrew's death, Sylvia tells this story to Jerome McNaughton, a young artist
whose discovery of Andrew's body unlocks a secret in his own past. At the centre of the
novel is the tale of Andrew's grandfather, Branwell, an innkeeper and a painter, whose liaison
with an orphaned French-Canadian woman sets the stage for future events.

A novel about loss and the transitory nature of place, A Map of Glass is vivid with the
evocative prose and haunting imagery for which Jane Urquhart's writing is celebrated.
