This is a collection of tales from a master storyteller which probes at the cracks in the human condition. Unexpected consequences befall a married woman in wartime London seeking news of her lover. An estate agent gets more than he bargained for when a beautiful client asks for a private viewing. And an antiques dealer makes a macabre discovery at a house buried deep in the Surrey hills. By turns ironic, comic and provocative, A Crack in the Glass is a tantalising assortment of bittersweet delights.
