Description
Breaking the Surface is an absorbing and deeply engaging novel which is set at the turn of the millennium, extending into 2071. An alternative vision of the world and its future, it is set in a parallel universe which is in most ways identical to our own.The story centres on two key characters: Kim Barnes, a gifted blues singer wrestling with an intense conflict between musical purity and her envy of a former friend; and Frank McCombie, an intelligent and educated man who shuns the world and lives rough.Gradually revealed are hidden connections between these and other characters through their strivings for success and meaning.
