The Art of Reinvention
Edel Coffey, author of In Glass Houses, and Charleen Hurtubise, author of Saoirse brings us their new novels, which follow women navigating hidden pasts and high-stakes choices—one a determined journalist chasing a buried truth, the other a young woman living under a false identity as her new life begins to unravel. Together, they offer a gripping discussion on power, belonging and the fragile line between who we are and who we pretend to be.
In Glass Houses is a fast-paced, twist-filled thriller set in the glittering but corrupt world of New York’s elite, where power, privilege, and dark secrets collide. Saoirse is a poignant love story about reinvention and redemption, following a young American who flees to Ireland under a stolen identity, intending only a temporary escape but instead building a new life. Through their new novels, they explore identity, secrets, and the art of reinvention.
