Crystal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224475421)

Crystal loves the glittering glass palace she was named after. Yet the place stirs difficult memories of those she loved and lost. Wilf has marched all the way from Northumbria to London, desperate for work. Together they uncover a plot by fascists who plan to gather their paramilitary Blackshirts and provoke further violence.

'Crystal' is a speculative novel set among the historical upheavals of the Jarrow Hunger March, the Battle of Cable Street sparked by Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts and the burning of the Crystal Palace, all of which happened within two months of each other, at the end of 1936.
