Lisa Mcbroom asked Cynthia Swanson:

I just finished The Glass Forest. To me the house named The Birdcage was a metaphor for the characters personal demons and being imprisioned by these emotions. Was that your intent?

Cynthia Swanson Definitely, Lisa! The Birdcage was certainly a metaphor for its residents' inner lives. Hope you enjoyed The Glass Forest!

I'm still eagerly awaiting release day, but I have been thinking about this book! I think names are important, and there's another notable family named Glass in the 1960s. Is your family's name an homage to JD Salinger? Or do I just need to wait till Feb to find out more?
