This last week, I read Glasshouse, Morwenna Blackwood’s second novel to her debut novel “The (D)evolution of us".

It is the end of my life.
I hear her muted sob as she realizes that we are done - that a life must end - that any life will never be long enough.
As my daughter’s fingers slip, my scream breaks free. I stare into her eyes and into the nothing beneath her as she falls.
