The Color of Ice by Barbara Linn Probst ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

'I love the way glass is alive...And like everything that's alive, it's full of contradictions.  Fragile and strong.  Liquid and solid. When it's hot you can pull it, twist it, cut it.  When it's cold, it's immovable.  Glass is present and not present.  We can look through it and at it.' (loc 468).
