Description
In the serene fjordlands of Norway in the early twentieth century, Ingrid has led a blissful childhood until, through no choice of her own, she becomes holder of her family's secrets. Her father, a blind preacher who ministers through sacred music played on glassware, increasingly relies on Ingrid to see for him even as it threatens to tear apart his marriage. And after she witnesses an assault against her sister, Ingrid must decide when to speak and when to remain silent, whom to trust and when to run away. Glassmusic explores the sometimes devastating realities of loyalty and jealousy, with philosophy, music, and love serving as guides.

Reviews
"Glassmusic is as elegant and finely wrought a novel as the title suggests. Snow's stunning prose evokes the Norwegian Fjordlands with the sensory impact of a lucid dream and delivers a symphonic combination of emotionally complex characters and immersive story that lingers in memory long after the pages have turned." -- Doug Kurtz, author of Mosquito "Doug Kurtz"
"Glassmusic explores the perils of childhood and the burden of holding dark secrets with prose as resonant as the music at the center of the story. Snow's debut novel is as beautiful as the frozen landscape she describes with such precision." -- Tiffany Quay Tyson, author of Three Rivers "Tiffany Quay Tyson, author of Three Rivers"
