Glyph (a signifying mark – as in ‘hieroglyph’) is the second book of the interconnected pair that began with Gliff (a Scottish/northern word for a shock, a fright, a transient moment, a glance or sudden glimpse). Glyph will tell a story which is hidden in the Gliff so the two books will belong together but can be read independently.

The two books form a new step in Ali’s writing journey, different in form and feeling from the Seasonal Quartet (plus Companion piece). Ali always keeps her novels under wraps until they are finished, and the surprise of reading a book only when it is complete, knowing almost nothing of its content, is part of the magic.
