Synopsis

Judy is a single mother who has climbed from the divorce court to the boardrooms of international finance. Dede's family money and glittering social life as an MP's wife have aided her husband's rise on Ottawa's political scene while she looks after their two sons. Barbara, former housewife and mother, has transformed herself into a bestselling novelist and a darling of the New York publishing world, while her husband's resentment at his own stalled career finds increasingly abusive outlets. Now their lives intersect at a luxurious Italian spa where they confront the costs of their successes. "Shattering Glass" is glamorous and gripping, yet wrenchingly poignant - a novel that holds a mirror up to every woman who knows she must stand alone, and every mother who asks herself what her independence will mean for her children.
