✦ Synopsis

The Crimson Petal and the White is one of the best-loved novels of recent years. Now a major BBC TV drama, it captured hearts and left readers desperate for more. In The Apple, Faber returns to Silver Street to find it still teeming with life, and conjures further tantalising glimpses of Sugar, Clara, Mr Bodley and many other favourites.

Review

"This superb collection makes you immediately want to take up its predecessor and devour it all over again." — Scotland on Sunday

"Michel Faber is a master of the short-story form." — Times Literary Supplement

"Gorgeous . . . Colossal, kaleidoscopic . . . Capable of rendering the muck of a London street amid the delicate humming-bird flights of thought with equal ease." — Time on The Crimson Petal and the White

"Highly recommended for admirers of Crimson Petal and for those who like their bonbons spicy."—Library Journal
