Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. WINNER OF THE BETTY TRASK PRIZE 2016 Meet Gunter Glass - ex-milkman and aspiring window-cleaner, struggling to find his way in the world His mum has died, his dad's retired, he's just been let go from his milk round - and Gunter Glass has his head in the clouds. Fortunately, he also has a head for heights, and a lifelong fascination with glass. So when the call comes to clean the windows of the tallest skyscraper in London, he sets off for the big city with little more than youthful enthusiasm, a dual-squeegee holster and his dear departed mother's homespun wisdom. But will Gunter's innocence put him on a collision course with the modern world? He's never had a girlfriend, and now he's falling for a clairvoyant with unclear intentions. Most of what he knows about life comes from Wikipedia, so sharing a dingy flat with an eccentric German philosopher is a bit befuddling. And most worrying of all, he's starting to think his new boss may be a little unhinged . Glass is a novel about learning to wise up to the world around you. Charming, funny and slyly clever, it establishes Alex Christofi as one of Britain's most exciting young writers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR007333000

Zustand: Good. : Gunter Glass, ex-lechero y aspirante a limpiador de ventanas, es ciertamente puro y bastante transparente. Lo que este joven ingenuo tiene es una cabeza para las alturas y, desde que visitó el taller de un soplador de vidrio cuando era niño, una fijación inusual con el vidrio. Cuando una pequeña aventura en la aguja de la Catedral de Salisbury convierte a Gunter en una celebridad local, John Blades, limpiador de ventanas de las estrellas, lo llama. Quiere que Gunter se una a él en Londres para limpiar el rascacielos más alto de Europa, el recién construido Shard en London Bridge. Con su madre fallecida recientemente, su padre jubilado y sin dinero para pagar la hipoteca, Gunter acepta la oferta de Blades y pronto se encuentra, por primera vez, entre las brillantes luces de Londres.
