CRACK APPLE and POP

"Money is nothing but freedom; with money, you can create your own morality." This is the credo that the characters live by in Saira Viola's novel of social realism. At times, a gritty slice of life; at others a metafictive commentary on popular culture, Viola depicts a slimy underworld as fast-moving as a Google search and just as full of surprises. Crack Apple and Pop has the flow of your favourite song, the punch line of a witty joke and the suspense of nail biting drama.
