The Apple
A Literary Fiction Short Story Collection by Michel Faber
Subgenres:
- Victorian,
- Historical Fiction,
- Short Stories
This book is for you if you're into...
- Victorian London through the eyes of unforgettable, flawed characters
- Short stories revisiting beloved figures from The Crimson Petal and the White
- Darkly witty glimpses into love, lust, and ambition
These stories go deeper into the Victorian world and lives of the acclaimed international bestseller, The Crimson Petal and the White.
Michel Faber's tale of love and lust in the Victorian Era, The Crimson Petal and the White, was hailed as "a Dickensian novel for our times." Now a major BBC TV drama, the saga of a prostitute named Sugar and the man who longs to possess her 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 tantalizing glimpses of Sugar, Clara, William, Mr. Bodley and many other favorites. For both fans of the novel and newcomers to this rich and historically vivid world, The Apple confirms that Michel Faber is a master of the short-story form.
This book will be read in a sitting, unless of course you are admitted to Accident and Emergency, having come over queer, huffing with laughter, or dizzy with envy at Faber's talent. Or probably both.
