When Jerome, a young artist on a remote island retreat, discovers the old man's body frozen in the ice later that winter, the rich narrative tapestry of A Map of Glass begins." "One year after Andrew's body is found, Sylvia Bradley decides to learn more about her former lover's mysterious disappearance. A withdrawn, sheltered woman whose secret affair with Andrew opened her eyes to the world outside her hometown, she flees to the unfamiliar city of Toronto in search of Jerome. Together, Sylvia and Jerome uncover both the secrets of their own pasts, and the story of Andrew's ancestors." "At the center of the novel, we meet Andrew's great-great-grandfather, Joseph Woodman, a nineteenth-century timber baron and shipbuilder whose ambitions bring him to the northern shores of Lake Ontario; his independent daughter, Annabelle; and his son, Branwell, an innkeeper and painter who ultimately begins the family's new generation."--BOOK JACKET.
