Description
Glass Tower is a powerful and beautiful story of two young people navigating sexual hurt and personal discovery in a new and confusing social order. In 1997, Leilah and Frankie form an unlikely friendship at their new school, one that remains racially divided despite the country's efforts to move beyond Apartheid.
As they delve deeper into each other's lives, secrets and betrayal drive them apart, leaving both girls to grapple with the challenges of young womanhood alone. With no clear path forward, Leilah must confront her troubled family and find a way to heal and move on.
This debut novel explores themes of identity, love, and belonging in a South Africa struggling to come to terms with its past. A poignant and thought-provoking read, Glass Tower is a story that will linger long after the final page has been turned.
