It is ... some time in the future and the Earth has been taken over (I guess) by these humanoid alien people. Rachel Pryne lives with her daughter Pearl, castoffs from the small community, Suffer. In pretty typical dystopian fashion, the community is under the charge of "Elders", one in particular C...
[I received a copy of this book through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.]I cannot say I didn't like this novel, as its main characters in general were sympathetic enough, but for most of it I also felt like something was missing—some action, or a more regular pacing, maybe?

For a world so focused on living, we certainly have a strange fascination with death. But not just your run-of-the-mill dying...

2.5 stars. Girl under Glass is a dystopian, sci-fi blend and I loved the first half of it. The main character Rachel, reminded me of the mother in Not a Drop to Drink. She was a very strong, resourceful person in the first half of the book who was determined to protect her child. I enjoyed the bond ...
