author:  Sari Wilson 
description: A tragic depiction of a girl adored far too soon by a grown-up worldArtfully rendered through the viewpoint of an adolescent dancer who performs with great maturity while remaining fatefully nave...So visceral, so real. (<b>Washington Post</b>)<br /><br />MasterfulWilsons New York City imagery is applied exquisitely and dynamicallyIn the end, the well-honed story line of GIRL THROUGH GLASS is not unlike a certain kind of stylized psychological ballet,  la Antony Tudor, with heightened characters dancing along dire boundaries. Powerfully stark. (<b>Los Angeles Review of Books</b>)<br /><br />A haunting portrait of obsession, ambition, sacrifice, and the secrets one woman thought she left in the past. (<b>Buzzfeed</b>)<br /><br />A nimble, nuanced psychological drama that leaps through time and place with an appropriate and assured agility...Wilson speaks with vibrant authority and acute vulnerability as she exposes the conflicted and competitive behind-the-scenes world of professional ballet. (<b>Booklist (starred review)</b>)<br /><br />Intense and mesmerizing. (<b>People Magazine</b>)<br /><br />The books subject is less the ballet itself than the costs of early virtuositythe feeling of being propelled by a force you dont understand and cant controland the dangerous intoxication of the perfect, weightless moments when everything but air, motion, height falls away. (<b>New York Times Book Review</b>)<br /><br />Few novels have affected me as deeply as Sari Wilsons GIRL THROUGH GLASSI loved, loved, loved this novel. So much so that I hid from my kids in the bathroom so I could read it! (<b>Joanna Rakoff, author of MY SALINGER YEAR</b>)<br /><br />Powerful. Gripping. IncandescentAs powerful storytelling kept me turning the pages, Wilsons extraordinary voice whispered to me about the things that both bind and divide us: desire, ambition and love. This book will stay in my heart for a long time. (<b>Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of GIRL IN TRANSLATION</b>)<br /><br />Wilsons take on the New York City dance scene is pungent and vivid and slyly satiricalThis novel of a girl who grows up way too soon is deftly plotted and beautifully written, and is about as suspenseful and affecting as a coming-of-age story can be.

  “Being with a writer is amazing too.”
  “You can also end up making me immortal. Putting me on paper.”
  “I remembered that page concept hard. I thought that was beautiful.”
  
   
   
   
  At one time he thought I was beautiful too.
  Feelings can change like the wind though.
  He taught me that.
  
   
   
   
  Should I spoil the ending now?
  Or let you walk through the story of glass girl
  like I did?
  Maybe if this was fiction I would leave the plot twist
  for surprise.
  But this is real life and sometimes glass girls
  are handled with care right before they’re shattered.
  And they never see it coming. I didn’t see it coming.
  But I don’t want that to happen to you.
  I can’t let that happen to you.
  So keep that in mind as you read this
  as you smile at lovely words.
  Sometimes lovely doesn’t last.
  Sometimes words are just words.
