When you wake up without your memories, who can you really trust?

Iris Henderson wakes up in a hospital bed alone, with no memory of why or how she got there. Moments later, she is introduced to her husband Marcus, a man she does not even recognise. And things only get stranger from there.

Iris is told that she volunteered to be the first test-subject for a ground-breaking AI therapy, and that she is the pioneering scientist behind the experimental treatment.

Praise for this book

"I found The Glass Woman a chilling and urgent voice in ongoing debate about AI influence on human life. This novel gets to the essence of the threat; it's not about robots taking over human jobs but the human mind, being in control of human self. Ariel's voice is a rare and excellently executed second person narration." - Ania Bas

"More than simply a psychological thriller, The Glass Woman is a chilling invitation to witness what might be our future. The science is well-researched and completely believable. A novel that stayed in my mind long after I read the final page. The definition of a thought-provoking read." - Julie Corbin

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

"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." - C C MacDonald

"The boundary-breaking psychological thriller I've been waiting for." - Sarah May

"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

"Completely absorbing, I haven't been able to put it down." - Sarah Ward
