'I loved Black Glass ... Meg Mundell skilfully exposes the manipulation and paranoia beneath the city of the future's gloss, and the marginalised existences of those excluded from the brave new world.' —Catherine O'Flynn, author of What Was Lost (Scribe 2008) 'Black Glass is a superb debut novel. Meg Mundell has invented a compelling futuristic version of our urban world that is not only original but — like all great speculative fiction — frighteningly recognisable. In addition, she has populated it with a cast of charismatic characters, notably the resourceful sisters Tally and Grace — truly an endearing and heroic pair.' —Chris Womersley, author of Bereft (Scribe 2010) and The Low Road (Scribe 2007) 'Brooding, surreal and unsettlingly vulnerable, Black Glass marks the arrival of a striking new voice. A brilliant debut.' —James Bradley
