Great 20th Century Literature

I have always been riveted by the World is Made of Glass because the characterization, plot, pacing, and story is superb. Magda as the brilliant sociopath, medical doctor and wealthy society diva, is an incredible depiction of a woman who has major contradictions in her personality. While her strength seems over-the-top, she is still entirely credible and unforgettable as a woman who does want to develop compassion and a conscience, but is clueless as to how to begin the journey to get there.
