Review by: Stefan Iddon-Meyers on Dec. 19, 2010 :
This novel is poignant, humourous and heartbreaking. Well observed characters and an absolutely gripping story. I cannot recommend The Glass Blower's Daughter enough!

Review by: Val Clarke on Dec. 13, 2010 :
This brilliant novel gives an acutely observed and lucid portrayal of the subtleties, cruelties and betrayals in relationships together with the powerful influences of unconditional love and positive memories that make up the formative experiences of the main character and ultimately help her to find her way. Everyone should read this book.

Review by: Sam Whitley on Dec. 12, 2010 :
The main character is very engaging and you can't help rooting for her. It's the story of how she survives back in the days when there were no help lines or counselling. I like the humour too. Excellent book.

This is a totally captivating book. It’s a beautifully crafted story with a dark edge to it. It made me laugh, it made me cry - I loved it. Just read it!

Review by: Mark Chisnell on Nov. 18, 2010 :
This is a wonderful book, I loved Greta's heartbreaking but ultimately redemptive journey, with some truly marvellous scenes - the ending was so poignant, so complete. This is a 'must-read' book.
