The Apple

"This book will be read in a sitting. Unless of course you are admitted to Accident and Emergency, having come over
queer, huff ing with laughter, or dizzy with envy at Faber's talent. Or probably both." Scotsman

Michel Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White is one of the best-loved novels of recent years, capturing hearts
and leaving many readers desperate for more. Now Faber returns to Silver Street, conjuring tantalising glimpses of
Sugar, Clara, Mr Bodley et al, their lives before we first encountered them and their intriguing futures.

For those who have already met them, The Apple is a chance to reconnect with old friends. For those who have yet to discover this world, an incomparable treat awaits.
