A review by schopflin
The Glass Pearls (Faber Editions) by Emeric Pressburger

mysterious sad tense medium-paced
  • Loveable characters? No

4.0

This is a dark book that's not easy to love. The reader knows the secrets but other people don't which makes it tense rather than suspenseful. The narrator is brought to life and many other characters were believable and/ or amusing but the female love interest was not.
