A review by quiltingnanna
The Green Glass Sea by Ellen Klages

4.0

I found this "juvenile fiction" book completely engaging as an adult. What a great idea to explore the history and morality of the atom bomb through the eyes of the children of the scientists working on it! This book and the sequel refreshed my history. I loved the details of family life in the 1940s, which brought back lots of memories. I also thought the light touches of exploration of various forms of discrimination and bias in both this book and the sequel were well done.
