challenges ahead, that her political mettle will be tested to its utmost, that as a young attractive female Minister she will be living firmly in the public eye. But nothing has prepared her for a love affair that throws her completely off-balance, a love affair with a married man so well known in media circles that it can only be a matter of time before everyone knows their secret...

What they say about Glass Houses

‘Sandra Howard has written a lovely first novel – subtly sexy and crammed with fascinating detail of political high life. Even more remarkably, she has created an enchanting heroine out of a married minister – and how unashamedly we cheer on this heroine as she is dangerously drawn into a passionate affair with an equally attractive and high profile married man’
JILLY COOPER

‘…this paean to middle-flowering lust could be the start of a great Trollope of a career for the author formerly known as Mrs Michael Howard’
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

“If the litmus test for a political romance is whether you keep turning the pages, Glass Houses passes with distinction and leaves you ready for more.’
OBSERVER

‘You’ll love Sandra Howard’s literary debut’
SUNDAY EXPRESS

‘Less bonkers than Jilly Cooper and more fun than Joanna Trollope, Sandra Howard is a welcome addition to the modern women’s fiction shelves. The only question is: what the hell took her so long?’
EVENING STANDARD

‘a compulsive and surprisingly sexy romp’
THE TIMES

‘This is refreshingly different: about individuals caught between private loyalty and public duty, moral principle and the vagaries of the heart…Howard weaves the varied strands of her ingenious plot into a smooth and exciting narrative.’
INDEPENDENT

‘Glass Houses is a sexy debut novel set in the corridors of political power’
Four stars, CLOSER MAGAZINE

‘Diverting first novel from a woman who knows better than most the whispers and waywardness of Westminster’
