Description
'Marvellous' Bridget Collins, The Sunday Times bestselling author of The Binding
Sometimes the greatest spectacle hides the darkest secrets .
Marvellous . . . That lovely, never-quite fulfilled sense of yearning, of something impossibly glamorous happening just out of sight, and the irresistible need to keep searching. The world-building is wonderful and, because it's a novel, it can conjure all the magic of theatre on an epic, fictional scale
Original and captivating, this intricately woven tale had me enthralled from page one . . . The theatre district holds dark secrets and hidden menace. I didn't want to leave
Rich, imaginative and atmospheric, The Theatre of Glass and Shadows is a perfectly paced novel about the power - and danger - of storytelling . . . This is a stunningly written book, perfect for fans of Susanna Clark, Bridget Collins and Erin Morgenstern
The Theatre of Glass and Shadows is the tale of a young woman's quest to discover her identity in a glittering yet secretive alternative world. Vibrant and original, this enchanting story is as immersive as the theatre experience Anne Corlett depicts
As vividly told and imaginative as a piece of immersive theatre, this is the kind of spellbinding historical novel that you can completely lose yourself in
Anne was a criminal defence solicitor for sixteen years before becoming a full-time writer after completing an MA in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University. The Theatre of Glass and Shadows is her second novel and was partly inspired by the immersive productions of the Punchdrunk theatre company, of which Anne is a huge fan, and whose work she has reviewed for the Guardian. Her first novel, The Space Between the Stars, was published by Tor and Berkley.
She lives in Bath with her partner and children.
