Description
The Glass Blowers In the world of the glass-blowers, tradition and language are woven into the very fabric of their craft. A master craftsman breathes life into a vessel, shaping it with skill and care, yet with the same breath, he can shatter and destroy it. This is the story of a family of master craftsmen in 18th-century France, whose world is turned upside down by the violence and terror of the French Revolution. Their struggles to survive are a testament to the power of family bonds and the resilience of the human spirit. But as they navigate the treacherous landscape of their own world, they must also confront the harsh realities of the outside world. Sophie Duval's remarkable achievement is a reworking of her own family history, bringing to life the intricate traditions and rules of the glass-blowers. A gripping and imaginative tale, The Glass Blowers is a story of love, loss, and survival, set against the tumultuous backdrop of 18th-century France.
