The Glass NightEditions
Review
As The Glass Night's narrator, Dan Flasch, tells his life-story to his son, he takes us from Nazi Germany to wartime Coventry and 1990s London, where Kate lies in a coma after a mysterious fall from a balcony. As Coventry is rebuilt, it reinvents its past. Dan has to accommodate his Jewish origins and reassess his relationship with his foster-family as he grows up. When Kate wakes up she can't remember anything about her fall - and what will she be told? The Glass Night is a complex novel about trauma and change; about dislocation, both in private and public life; and about the possibility of interventions which could even be called miracles. - review by Johnny de Falbe |
