The Glass Night

Listen, do you remember when you came in late one night and made love with Kate in the sitting-room? . . . I was there.' Past and present are entwined in The Glass Night as Dan Flash, the novel's narrator, tells the story of his life to his son – from Nazi Germany to wartime Coventry and to 1990s London, where Kate lies in a coma after a mysterious fall from a balcony. Praise for The Glass Night: 'A particularly vivd first novel . . . with superb descriptions of wartime Coventry' Sunday Telegraph 'Impressively ambitious . . . you're in the hands of a confident and ingenious new writer' Jonathan Coe
