Breathing On Glass

Absorbing, authoritative, exciting, aesthetically beautiful … Breathing on Glass is unlike anything else I’ve ever read … The triumph of the novel is that these immensely ambitious and complex intellectual themes are integrated and carried through in a narrative that is aesthetically rich and beautiful and deep – Tessa Hadley, author of The London Train
In her gripping tale of laboratories and latex gloves, scientific one-upmanship and sibling rivalry, Jennifer Cryer puts the sex into medical research - and gives the classic love triangle a thrillingly modern twist … A spirited novel’s wry look at the lengths scientist will go to achieve glory. But a different level of deception is also examined in the relationship between Rhea and Amber – Genevieve Fox * Daily Mail *
Cryer’s sensual precision works best when this part thriller, part domestic tangle deals with science … . The questions raised about the limits of scientific ambition are timely – Catherine Taylor * Guardian *

Jennifer Cryer was born and grew up in a Northumbrian mining village. Married, she now lives in South Wales. After studying Biochemistry and working in hospital, university and industrial laboratories, she also completed a PhD in creative writing and has combined these two interests in her first novel.
