“Glassworks” is so deeply imagined and immersive that reading it felt like an invitation: Shatter what needs to be shattered and mold your story from what’s left... I needed this novel, both for its cathartic devastation and the hope found in its wreckage.

We are encouraged to simply accept what we don’t understand and meet the world where it is, rather than trying to seamlessly decode it…If this novel shows us anything, it’s that love — of family, of romantic partners, of community — is most joyful when it’s without limits.
