A review by dessa
Glory by Gillian Wigmore
3.0
If, like me, you never want to have kids, this book will hammer home the horrible, constricting, suffocating nature of kids. Our protagonist overcomes it, but sort of in a magical way - too much emotional and mental change behind the scenes to be entirely convincing.
What I loved about this book: its role as a love letter to Northern BC, as a love letter to wild or abandoned or small-town spaces which alternately confine and liberate. Which, I suppose, is what it’s trying to say about Renee’s relationship with her kid, too. Confinement and liberation in weirdly equal, simultaneous parts.
