Broad in scope and touching beyond belief, A Crack in Forever is an astonishing first novel, written by a highly talented author. Eric Moro, a first-year medical student who loves women, was born to be a surgeon. But when he first enters Alexandra Taylor's life, he is nothing more to her than the ideal artist's model. However, before too long, she is captivated by his reckless sensuality - the wayward smile that speaks of mischief, the intimate candour that leaves her raw and exposed, the unquestioning love, unlike any she has known before.They enter into a relationship astonishing in its ferocity. But then a foolish act from Eric's past comes back to haunt them and instead of planning an outdoor wedding, and of facing a romantic 'forever', they are confronted by the ultimate tragedy. Eric tries to push Alex out of his life, but she clings to him, unwilling to lose any of the time they might have left together. Inevitably, death will force them apart, yet ultimately it is death, and their struggle to fight against it, that will ensure their love survives.
