Publication Day!
I'm delighted to say that THE GLASSMAKER is published today in the USA and Canada - at last! I have been working on this novel since 2019, researching and writing a lot of it during the pandemic, which is partly what slowed me down.
It's also a slightly longer book than I usually write, plus it covers 500 years of Venetian history! It's about a young woman who decides to do what women don't do often in Venice - work with glass. Canals, gondolas, chandeliers, beads, Casanova, Napoleon, vaporettos, plague, war, family and love: it's got it all.
Rest of the world: THE GLASSMAKER will be published in other countries soon. For more details on dates and events, visit:

Congratulations. Girl with a Pearl Earring is still one of my favorite novels.
I can't wait for it to be published in the UK!
I just finished reading The Glassmaker. Loved the characters and historical overview of Venice/Murano!
Just in time to be my favorite summer read !
I picked up my copy from our public library today! Very excited to read it.
such a good story! congratulations...I'm glad the world gets to read it !
I was happy to read it pre publication through NetGalley. I really enjoyed it, thank you 😃
I am sad to find that The Glass Maker is not yet on Goodreads. I just finished it and WOW.At first it was hard to follow the timeline jumps but I got into it. Loved learning all that history about Venice and Murano.
My only criticism is that it wasn’t Antonio bringing her the dolphin at the end. If her family could jump through time, and other friends as well, then why not Antonio?
Hi Susan, it is on here 🙂. Thought it was as I’ve reviewed it -https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Thank you. I have no idea why it didn’t show up for me the other day.
I had the same thing with another book recently. Strange glitch happening 🙂

Careful, Susan, you don't want to spoil it! I'll just quietly whisper: terraferma time...
Loved this book so much.. stayed up so late to finish it as I just couldn't put it down. Love the setting in Venice, love the family relationships and written so beautifully.
