Black Glass, by Meg Mundell. Black Glass is speculative fiction, a genre I don't usually read, but I found it interesting. It's a futuristic world, but convincingly so, because many of its elements exist already in less extreme form. Two adolescent sisters, Tally and Grace, are separated by the force of an explosion which kills their father.
Black Glass by Meg Mundell has been on my reading list for a while. When I was looking through my Kindle to find which book to read next, I picked it more because I’ve had it for a long time than because it leapt out at me. Black Glass (Scribe, ), Meg’s first novel, also won critical acclaim and prize shortlistings. Her debut short story collection Things I Did for Money (Scribe, ) has been used internationally as a university teaching text. Meg Mundell’s debut novel Black Glass is the story of two sisters and their search for each other in a city of the not-too-distant future. The black glass of the title is the glass of surveillance. Those who inhabit the city’s various zones are not only watched but manipulated by technicians who subtly influence behaviour through the use of scents, sounds and lighting at a subliminal level.
