520 ## - ABSTRACT
Abstract <br/><br/>Clara Batchelor is twenty-two. Her brief, doomed marriage to Archie over, she returns to her parents home hoping for comfort. However, it is a Catholic home, and its confines form a dangerous glass wall of guilt and repression between Clara and the outside world. Clara both longs for and fears what lies beyond yet when she escapes into an exhilarating and passionate love affair her fragile identity cracks.<br/><br/>An extraordinary, courageous portrayal of a woman's descent into madness, Beyond The Glass is a brilliant novel which completes Antonia White's wonderful Frost in May Quartet.<br/><br/>Antonia White was a patient at the Bethlem Royal Hospital for nine months in 1922-1923.
