The World is Made of Glass

De: Morris West

Narrado por: Peter Hosking

Set in pre-World War I Europe, The World Is Made of Glass is a powerful novel of love, sexual obsession, murder and guilt.

A cryptic and mysterious case history appears in the autobiography of pioneering Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung: ‘A lady came to my office. She refused to give her name. What she had to communicate to me was a confession. Some 20 years ago, she had committed a murder.’

Jung’s encounter with the woman had an explosive effect on him and brought him very close to total breakdown. Morris West re-creates this episode in a gripping blend of truth and dramatic speculation.

Set in pre-World War I Europe, The World Is Made of Glass is a powerful novel of love, sexual obsession, murder and guilt. It has been called Morris West’s finest creation of the imagination.

Review

A little confusing at first so I had to go back and listen to the beginning a few times to figure out what was going on. Eventually, character names began to sink in. Excellent character development and unfolding. Excellent theme brought excellently to a close. Excellent in every way. A lot of excellences in this review.
