Mancunians Hannah
Bernstein and Trish Wilcox are worlds apart in terms of social class
- in terms of everything. Hannah is Jewish from the middle-class
suburb of Didsbury and Trish is Catholic from an underprivileged
Manchester council estate.
Following a major
earthquake during their holiday in Naples, Hannah and Trish become
trapped together for a week in the hotel’s Ladies’ room. Prior to
this, the holidaymakers are strangers. One thing they do have in
common, however, is skeletons in their cupboards which they have
realised cannot possibly be taken to the grave.
The storyline
continues around Hannah and Trish’s dark secrets.
Although initially
set in Naples, the story is based around Manchester, UK, spanning
four decades from the 1970s.
A Glimmer Through
the Breach, although not autobiographical, does reflect the
author’s Neapolitan heritage and her lifelong experiences of having
lived in both Manchester districts portrayed in the story.
