“ Like Ingmar Bergman’s films, Snow’s creation is a world unto itself.” –Annie Dawid, author of And Darkness Was Under His Feet: Stories of a Family
Shortlisted for the 2015 International Rubery Book Award
From the judges: “ Glassmusic achieves a lot in a short space, successfully evoking the world of early twentieth century rural Norway and creating a rite of passage novel for Ingrid, the main character, and her blind father, who creates music from filled glasses of water. It explores in a thought-provoking way how religion can uplift or distort into disturbing behaviour. The writing is deceptively spare, creating its own beauty, which complements the simplicity of the farming setting.”
