The Colour of Glass

By Clare Flynn

She's dutiful. He's defiant. Each knows what they want. Neither knows what they need.

England, 1908. Alice Dalton bows to the will of her aristocrat parents and agrees to marry the elder son of a wealthy stockbroker to bolster the failing family finances. But on the morning of her engagement, Alice confronts a shocking betrayal by her fiancé that ends in a heartbreaking tragedy.
His younger brother, Edmund, an up-and-coming stained glass artist is driven by passion for his art and love for a fellow student. His domineering father has other plans, demanding Edmund takes his brother's place and marries Alice.
Alice, tired of being used as a pawn, turns to the women's suffrage movement. And Edmund, torn between duty and emotion, chooses to follow his heart.
Can Alice and Edmund each find fulfilment in a world where duty, money and class jeopardise their dreams?
