Publisher's Summary:
But Esperanza is no ordinary servant. She has been sent by her guardian, the mysterious Madame de l'Orme, to uncover the dark and dangerous secrets that her new mistress has sought to conceal, and to set right a past injustice in which Esperanza's own closest interests are bound up.
Gradually those secrets are revealed, and with them the truth of who Esperanza really is, forcing agonising obligations on her, and enmeshing her in a complicated web of intrigue, deceit and murder that culminates in betrayal by those she trusted most.

Not as good as "Meaning of Night'
The author's first novel, the prequel to this one, is one of my favourite novels ever. This is an attempt to provide "bookends" if you will, to the first novel, and it didn't totally succeed for me.
It feels rushed and thrown together in parts and could have used a thorough editing. But there is something about the female lead character that just didn't feel true to me - an example of a male author who can't truly inhabit his creation.
I will read The Meaning of Night over and over in the future, but not The Glass of Time.
Read his first, first!
A book I really could not stop listening to. At several times you felt the conclusion to the story had been reached and there would be yet another twist and turn to keep you on your seats edge. I was not aware until I searched for more of Michael Cox's books that this is a sequel to his first book which will now have to serve as a prequel. Enjoy!
A HOLIDAY MUST!
What a joy it was to listen to this audiobook, I found myself unable to switch off, sometimes keeping me up until after 2am, fantastic plot with all the components necessary to make a very good story. Such a shame that there will be no more words from the pen of Mr Cox.
the glass of time
i thought michael cox's first book was good , but this in many ways is even better. I think the descriptive language adds to a plot with many unexpected twists , and was sorry to learn that no more books from this author would be forthcoming , due to his untimely death.
beautifully written and narrated
This is a most beautifully written and narrated historical novel written by Michael Cox. I found myself continuously intriqued, wondering constantly what would happen next and if I was correct in my assumptions of how the story would progress.I listened to "the meaning of night" first by the same author and this gives the background "to the glass of time" and I found the two books together well worth reading and I can recomend them heartidly. I will definately listen to them again
Sadly there will be no more titles by this author for which I am truly sad, but I am grateful to audible for bringing my attention to the book which I probably wouldnt have listened to if I hadnt taken the time to read the preview
