A young couple in Czechoslovakia build their dream home, an art deco house with a beautiful glass room.
To Viktor this room represents reason…..everything is clean and clear, the room runs with straight lines and yet in this room some of the most irrational arguments take place and some of the most damaging of people are brought together. Nazi Germany is rapidly gaining more power and influence and affecting the lives of all of the characters. A touching and bittersweet story that will grip you from first to last page.
Cool. Balanced. Modern. The precisions of science, the wild variance of lust, the catharsis of confession and the fear of failure – these are things that happen in the Glass Room.
