Overview
Sheeny lives in a world scoured clean by the glass wind that comes roaring out of the empty space where a mountain used to be. A wind whose gusts can strip flesh from bone and whose breezes leave a dust of glass so fine it accumulates in the lungs with every sip of air.Delpha lives in an otherwhere, an otherwhen in which no glass wind blows. Her world is poised on the precipice of its reality, needing only the faintest push to fall. And if that should happen, there will be no picking up the pieces.
Two women, two worlds, rush toward a shattering collision. Unless...
From the odd names of Boston subway stops and her memories of Hans Christian Andersen's terrifying and twisted story "The Snow Queen," award-winning author Nalo Hopkinson weaves a provocative and chilling glimpse into a future as fragile and sharp-edged as glass.
