Description
Glaciers A Novel by Alexis M. Smith is a shimmering debut that unfolds over the course of a single day, revealing an entire life through fleeting moments. Isabel's longing for a simpler time and a life she can't quite reach is palpable as she repairs damaged books in the basement of the local library. As she looks into her past, memories of childhood in Alaska among threatened glaciers, a meeting with an astrologer, and a life-changing encounter with a glacier come to the surface. The story is told through the lens of everyday objects: postcards, photographs, rare books, and thrifted gems, each one revealing a piece of Isabel's story. This beautiful novel shows how the past can be both a source of comfort and a reminder of what's been lost. With its kaleidoscopic pleasures and haunting beauty, Glaciers is a true gift for readers looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant tale.
