The Glasshouse
The Glasshouse is one of those rare stories that offers poignant insight into the human heart. Its message is zen-like: the world is in a constant state of flux; nothing stays the same. So, too, it poses the question: is perfection, however fleeting, worth the fear of losing it? Paradoxically, Clara's fear is her undoing, yet it is also her saviour. And there is so much more squirreled away between Collins's words. How he managed to say so much with so few words is really quite a feat. I recommend this book to readers of all ages adults included. This story is not only ageless, it is timeless.
