One night, George Duncan - a decent man, a good man - is woken by a noise in his garden. Impossibly, a great white crane has tumbled to earth, shot through its wing by an arrow. Unexpectedly moved, George helps the bird, and from the moment he watches it fly off, his life is transformed. The next day, a kind but enigmatic woman walks into George's shop. Suddenly an extraordinary new world opens up for George, but no love ever comes without risk . . . Wise, romantic, magical and funny, The Crane Wife is a hymn to the creative imagination and a celebration of the disruptive and redemptive power of love. Jamie Glover is an accomplished actor and audiobook narrator. His extensive television credits include Waterloo Road and Trial and Retribution. Recent leading theatre roles include Noises Off at the Old Vic/ Adelphi West End and The Chalk Garden at the Donmar Warehouse.©2013 Patrick Ness
