The Glass House

It’s 1912, and Balmarra, the once-grand Scottish estate, has become a burden. Under the thumb of her penny-pinching husband, Malcolm, Antonia McCulloch struggles to maintain the house and gardens her late father held so dear. One evening, her lonely and predictable life is turned upside down when an unknown sister-in-law appears on her doorstep. Determined to make the best of the situation and get to know her estranged brother’s wife, Antonia tries to accommodate her guest. Much to her chagrin, Cicely Pick has traveled from India with her young daughter to claim her husband’s inheritance, only to discover there’s been a delay in the reading of the will. The aloof Cicely continually rebuffs Antonia’s gestures of friendship, while growing increasingly irritated with the selfish demands of Malcolm.
