The Glass Room “Readers’ Review”

Diane Rehm called Simon Mawer’s The Glass Room “breath-takingly beautiful” on her monthly Reader’s Review panel featuring the book. An hour-long discussion of the work featured panelists Ron Charles, fiction editor at the Washington Post, Bernard Lambeck, attorney and descendent of the family on which the story is based, and Susan Piedmont-Palladino, architect, curator at the National Building Museum, and professor of architecture at Virginia Tech. Several callers recommended The Glass Room as perfect for reading groups.  

Listen to the discussion, read Ron Charles’s review of the book, check out the reading group guide, and see photographs of the architectural masterpiece that inspired the story.
