Girl Through Glass by Sari Wilson
4.0
A solid debut novel. The switch between third/first person is both contrived and forgivable, along with other missteps along the way, but overall the rawness and intensity of the narrative is what draws me to it. I forgive the compounded similes in the third-person past storyline, because this is a story about the danger of beauty for its own sake, and so I understand them.
Maybe it will be hard for some readers to relate to and sympathize with Mira and her art form as a young girl, but the portrayal of a girl lost in her art and her desire has the ring of truth to it that makes great stories. "Girl Through Glass" looks boldly into a face of humanity that many would like to avoid acknowledging.
