Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star glass-and-cedar palace on an island in British Columbia.
Jonathan Alkaitis works in finance and owns the hotel.
When he passes Vincent his card with a tip, it's the beginning of their life together.
That same day, Vincent's half brother, Paul, scrawls a note on a windowed wall of the hotel: Why don't you swallow broken glass.
Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for a company named Neptune-Avramidis, sees the note from the hotel bar and is shaken to his core.
Thirteen years later Vincent mysteriously disappears from the deck of a Neptune-Avramidis ship.
Weaving together the lives of these characters, The Glass Hotel moves between the ship, the skyscrapers of Manhattan, and the wilderness of northern Vancouver Island, painting a breathtaking picture of greed and guilt, fantasy and delusion, art and the ghosts of our pasts.
