The Glass Woman Summary

The Glass Woman by Alice McIlroy

When you wake up without your memories, who can you really trust? Pioneering scientist Iris Henderson chose to be her own first test-subject for an experimental therapy, placing a piece of technology into her brain. At least, this is what everyone tells her. Trouble is, Iris is now without her memories so she doesn't know what the therapy is or why she would ever decide to volunteer for it. Everyone warns her to leave it alone, but Iris doesn't know who to trust. As she scratches beneath the surface of her seemingly happy marriage and successful career, a catastrophic chain of events is set in motion. Secrets will be revealed that have the capacity to destroy her whole life, but Iris can't stop digging.

The Glass Woman Reviews

Stepford Wives meets 2001 Space Odyssey, The Glass Woman is a twisty, thought-provoking read with characters full of heart engaging with the debate around AI in a truly inventive and original way.
- Chris MacDonald, author of Happily Every After and The Actor

Right from the opening chapter, where the narrator wakes up with no memory of who she is, The Glass Woman instantly hooks you with a timely take on the rise of AI, and burrows under your skin. It manages to be both a deliciously creepy and mysterious thriller and also a thought-provoking meditation on identity and memory. Hugely entertaining and relentlessly readable.
- Alex Michaelides, author of The Maidens

The boundary-breaking psychological thriller I've been waiting for.
- Sarah May, author of Becky

Twisty, dark and chillingly believable. The Glass Woman is a gripping exploration of memory, loss and AI.
- Carole Hailey, author of The Silence Project
