review 1: The publisher compared this to Woolf, Duras, and Rhys? I'm sure even their adolescent scribblings were more learned and erudite than Glaciers. This is not to say the book isn't well written: it definitely is, but it feels too uncertain of itself many times, and at many others it felt like reading an MFA student's final project. This is chick lit targeted to the young, fashionable, hipster librarian.
review 2: I read this little book in one sitting, something I haven't done for ages. It's a perfect little gem of a thing, not trying to be a bigger story than it is, with an easy, mellow flow that it difficult not to drift right into. It helps, of course, that it is centered around a character exactly my age, living in a place I lived and love, and I recognize her
... moreand her story so well. But it's not just that--this is also a well-written, poetic little novelette. It was the perfect thing on the day it found its way into my life, and I am grateful for that. less
