Sharp Glass

LoveReading Says

This smart, interesting, and very different novels takes trust and grief, folding and twisting it until unrecognisable shapes form in your mind’s eye. A woman wakes to find she is being held captive by an unknown male, both are seeking answers to the death of a girl. Sarah Hilary is one of my go-to authors, she is so astute and provocative, yet also empathetic and thoughtful. This novel explores two sides, and as a reader, seeing from the two different perspectives is fascinating. The first part of the tale is convoluted claustrophobia, I felt hemmed in and at no point did my reasoning feel safe. Lists from each of the main protagonists set me evaluating and questioning. My thoughts were off centre, and it felt as though I was walking on glass. Then the wider world appears, along with snatches of previous events and a trail appears through the darkness. This is a slow-burning, questing novel, your brain will get a serious workout and so I’ve chosen this as a Liz Pick of the Month. Complex and tense, challenging and demanding, Sharp Glass is a stimulating read.
