Introducing The Sound of Glass

THE SOUND OF GLASSTAKES PLACE BOTH IN THE present and the past. The three narrators of the story are Merritt Heyward, Edith Heyward, and Loralee Purvis Connors. The story centers around a 1950s plane crash, and the three women are all connected by it.

When the plane crash occurred, Edith was a witness to it. In the wreckage of the crash, Edith came upon a suitcase. She kept the suitcase hidden and never spoke a word of it to anyone. When she opened the suitcase, she found a letter that made her feel as though she was not alone and not the only person with a secret.

For years, Edith had endured her husband's physical abuse. Calhoun would often hit her and would never allow her to have a door locked. Calhoun was also a witness to the plane crash. The explosion distracted him and led to a car crash, which resulted in his death. Edith did not mourn. She did not feel heartbroken as he had broken her heart many times before. In fact, she felt freedom after her husband's death.

In the present-day section of the story, Merritt Heyward's husband Cal has just passed away. During the same time, Cal's grandmother Edith passed away as well, which left Merritt to inherit Edith’s house in South Carolina. Merritt knew little about Cal's childhood because he refused to speak about it. She only knew that his parents had died, and he had a younger brother. Merritt was also secretive, keeping her past from Cal. She never told him how she no longer spoke to her father after he had left to marry a flight attendant who was only five years older than her.
