The Glass Field (spotlight) AD-PR Product
The Blurb
Set in Britain in 1986, in the long shadow of the Cold War and the aftermath of Chernobyl, The Glass Field follows two adolescent outsiders whose shared fear of nuclear catastrophe brings them together.
Scott is sensitive, watchful, and quietly burdened by grief. Convinced that global annihilation is inevitable, he retreats into post-apocalyptic fiction, survival games, and imagined futures, drawn to the clarity they offer in an uncertain world. Jodie is brilliant, abrasive, and fiercely guarded. Determined to keep the world at a distance, she trusts solitude as her only reliable form of protection.
When Scott and Jodie first meet, each recognises in the other a mirror of their own fear. To begin with, their bond is tentative and wary; but it gradually deepens, until the line between imagination and reality begins to slip.
Quiet, interior, and psychologically precise, The Glass Field is not a conventional coming-of-age story but rather a novel about how we deal with a world that feels on the verge of breaking. It explores adolescence, otherness, intimacy, and the beginnings of grief, without offering easy resolutions or emotional verdicts.
