In analternate London, the city's Theatre District is a walled area south of theriver where an immersive production - the Show - has been running forcenturies, growing ever bigger, more sprawling and lavish.

The Show is open toanyone who can afford a ticket but the District itself is a closed world; eventhe police have no jurisdiction within its walls. Juliet's mother died whenshe was a baby. Brought up by her emotionally distant father and even moredistant stepmother, she has never felt wanted.

It's only when her fatherpasses away that Juliet - now nineteen - learns her birth was registered inthe District. Desperate to belong somewhere at last, she travels to Londonwhere she hopes to unearth the truth about her identity, her mother's deathand her father's years of silence - and claim her birthright.

But in theDistrict, there is only one central truth: the Show must go on. And in a worldwhere illusions abound, and powerful men control the narrative, Juliet has noidea of just how far some will go to ensure certain stories are never told . . . For fans of The Miniaturist and The Doll Factory, The Theatre of Glass andShadows is a place where nothing is as it seems 'Original and captivating'Karen Coles, author of The Asylum
