The Apple: Crimson Petal Stories

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 (The Guardian, UK).

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” (Times Literary Supplement, UK).

Editorial Reviews

Sunday Telegraph - David Robson

Faber remains an unrivalled master of his subject.

Scotsman

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.

Times Literary Supplement

Michel Faber is a master of the short-story form.

From the Publisher

"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
