A Map of Glass Audiobook

" one of those "haunting" kinda books. "

" Loved the style and the twists and the bits of local history. Beautiful story. "

" I tried - for way too long - but I just found nothing worth my valuable reading time. "

" Yet another book that I could not get into. This one I made it to page 21. Not far, to be sure...but really, don't you know after a page (a paragraph? Less?) whether or not you think the author is a good writer? I found it boring and mired in dull details. Next! "

" This is my 5th Urquhart novel and my least favorite. She is such a great writer but this story fell short in many ways. "

" I am rediscovering the beauty of well-written prose and the sense of seeing the world through another's eyes. "

" I have read many of Jane Urquhart's novels and enjoy them as I am reading them. However, after a year, I can never remember any of the details of the plot or the characters. Once more a beautiful, lyrical novel taking place in Canada. "

" Not a big Jane Urquhart fan. This one was ok. Liked that it is set around Kingston- Trenton area on the St Lawrence "

" Some good ideas but hard to get into and the flow was off... Also I had trouble believing that the main characters would have realistically gotten together. "

" Good in parts, but I found the middle section very drawn out. A good twist at the end. "

" I could not even finish this book. I struggled to read it & finally decided life is too short & there are too many other amazing books to read... "

" I found myself speaking out loud "oh, shut the f-- up!" to the author by page 50, but I officially stopped reading at this sentence on page 89: "Neither you, nor your goodness, nor china horses could keep me forever away from the arms of the world." "

" I must admit I tried really hard to get into this book, the language was so elaborate, so descriptive that I often found myself frustrated at wanting the story to move forward. It really wasn't my favourite read. "

" I was disappointed with this novel, the third I've read by her. I liked the book, and the characters form the past who came to life in the journals, but found the framing story a little unbelievable. There were moments of Urquharts beaurtiful imagery, but it did not have the impact of Away for me. "
