The Girl With Glass Feet

Love can be as fragile as a glass heart. Ali Shaw’s magical-realism infused novel, The Girl with Glass Feet: A Novel , is set on a strange archipelago, St. Hauda’s Land, and follows an unusual couple. 

Midas Crook is a distant man and photographer who sees the world through his camera; so much so that it’s like an appendage of his body.   He meets Ida Maclaird, a girl with a very strange ailment.  Ida’s feet have turned into glass, and she fears that the rest of her body will gradually be transformed.  She has returned to the islands to look for a man named Henry who may or may not have an answer to her problem.
