Written On Glass – Judith Lennox

Description

Written on Glass by Judith Lennox is a compelling historical novel set in the aftermath of World War II, filled with love, secrets, and betrayal. The story unfolds in 1946 on the South Coast of England, where two families—the Temperleys and the Chancellors—have been close neighbours for years. Marius Temperley, a reserved and principled man, struggles to adjust to civilian life after the war, while his fiery and independent sister, Julia, takes charge of the family business following their father’s death. As the tension between the families grows, Julia finds herself the object of affection from both Jack and Will Chancellor, sparking a complex love triangle. Meanwhile, Jack’s emotionally distant nature and Topaz’s revealing gossip about family inheritance plans add even more layers of intrigue and tension to the unfolding drama.

Lennox masterfully weaves themes of love, loyalty, and the consequences of family secrets, creating an atmosphere of suspense and emotional depth. As the years pass, the hidden truths of the families’ relationships come to light, and the ties that once bound them begin to unravel, with dramatic and life-altering consequences. The novel is an absorbing exploration of how the past can shape the future and the ways in which personal choices and family dynamics can change the course of lives forever.

Written on Glass will appeal to readers who enjoy historical fiction filled with complex family relationships, emotional turmoil, and unforgettable love stories. Fans of authors like Santa Montefiore and Lucinda Riley will find this novel a perfect addition to their reading list.
