RaveThe Times Literary Supplement (UK)Where Glass’s stream-of-consciousness prose in her debut novella, Peach (2018), often stopped short of real depth, here we are swept convincingly from scene to scene with a dissociative quality that mirrors Laura’s exhaustion. The author is a sister on a paediatric wing, and this novella feels saturated in lived experience ... What, Glass asks, do we expect from our caregivers, and how do we repay them for the burdens we lay on them? Rest and Be Thankful is almost absurdly pertinent, and with its devastating close, the answers seem stark: we ask far too much, and for some there is no replenishment.
