Set in in the early days of package holidays and more conventioanl and homely West Yorkshire it explores human emotions trying to cope with situations where some characters would rather not be. Does a conventional marriage bring a happy ending?

    THE GLASS CLASS brings the saga towards the 21st century with Rosalind’s friends failing to support her after her divorce from William. The image of beautiful people is wearing thin and dreams are unfulfilled. Certain deaths begin to look suspicious and with scenes in Yorkshire and North Wales, it is only when those in the crowd, whose illusions have not been shattered, holiday on Spetses in Greece that the portagonists are absolved from suspicion. A story set against a background of journalism, alcoholism, 19th century history and the Open University. A family tree proves crucial to their sanity.
