Bottle and Glass is a story of survival and escape told from the barstools of two dozen boisterous Kingston taverns at the close of the War of 1812. The novel follows the fortunes of Jeremy Castor and his cousin, Merit Davey, two young men snatched from the Cornish coast by the Royal Navy in the summer of 1813. A year later, they arrive in Kingston, in The Dominion of Canada, a town tense with the fear and deprivation of war. Paid, pent, and thirsty, their first riotous night ashore is spent at a tavern, the novel's namesake, Violin, Bottle, and Glass. On this Saturday night it seems like the entire town is crammed into the two-story clapboard roadhouse. It is thick with spicy bodies, sour tobacco, sweet liquor, and traces of sea-salt. Each reveler has their own private need. The bos'n's mate looks to drink something other than lime-leavened rum and he thinks of home. The young seamstress hopes to meet a midshipman and she thinks of away. The bored need a distraction. The bottled, a release. Jeremy and Merit meet sixteen-year-old Amelia Barrett, newly and unhappily married to Colonel Noble Spafford, a Peninsular War veteran many decades her senior. When, later that evening, Jeremy stumbles upon a dead man linked to the Colonel, the lives of these three people seeking freedom become bound together forever.

Review Bottle and Glass is a highly original adventure story, set during the war of 1812, and framed using real taverns that once existed within the city of Kingston, Ontario. A fascinating study of escape, and a powerful history of 19th century frontier life; Bottle and Glass is a stunning achievement.- Helen Humphreys - award‐winning novelist and poet laureate of Kingston, Ontario, author of six novels including 'Afterimage',' Coventry', and 'The Reinvention of Love'Bottle and Glass is a tantalizing work of fiction anchored in careful historical research. In visceral and muscular prose, Morgan Wade paints a sea-salted and gripping portrait of early nineteenth century English empire on Turtle Island. Readers will revel in the evocative and palpable descriptions of life at sea under the thumb of the British navy. Wade revels in his command of period English, and his raw talent for paced, fluid writing never disappoints.Adam Davidson-Harden - Educator, musician and poet/essayistFrom Cornwall, England to Kingston, Ontario, Bottle and Glass takes the reader on an exciting, sometimes violent, but always realistic journey. The author does a masterful job of engaging the reader, through his wonderful descriptions and period language, reminiscent of Patrick O'Brian and Bernard Cornwell. A rollicking read! David Anderson - author of 'A Cuban Death' and 'Whirlwind'Bottle and Glass is a fascinating story of adventure at sea, life in early Canada and the struggle for humanity. Wade writes a story that is sympathetic, historically compelling and has both local and universal appeal. Bottle and Glass left me both satisfied and edified.Leanne Lieberman - author of Gravity, The Book of Trees, and Lauren Yanofsky Hates the HolocaustNo small part of the pleasure of Bottle and Glass comes from Wade's exquisite attention to historical detail. Every sentence, it seems, contains some small tile of a mosaic that portrays life in this part of Canada in a way that no Heritage Moment could ever hope to achieve.Bruce Geddes, Toronto

The historical setting and well defined characters made it all the more fascinating. Great read for that "difficult to buy for" male on your gift list.
