Harriet Purcell leaves her conventional, respectable home and respectable, passionless boyfriend and moves into a rooming house owned by Mrs. Delvecchio Schwartz. There, Harriet finds a life she relishes – excitement, adventure and passion. Mrs. Delvecchio Schwartz makes a living from telling fortunes, and is mother to 4-year-old Flo. Beautiful little Flo is mute, and Harriet comes to love her as if Flo were her own – and must protect her at all costs when tragedy strikes… Angel is Colleen McCullough at her vintage best, drawing on her own experiences of living in the Cross in the 1960s and writing of a world that has long gone. Most of all, it is a tale of a woman's love for a child, and what she is prepared to endure to ensure her survival. Review: Great read - Refreshing story, full of interesting characters. I cared about the characters, especially Flo, which is always a sign of a good book. It had all the ingredients to warrant a sequel as I was left at the end wondering how the characters developed. I loved the Thorn Birds and I loved this. Would definitely recommend it. Review: A bit different. - I quite enjoyed this book, it was a bit different. Not sure why it is called Angel as that was a sort of strange sideline to the story - I felt. Nonetheless it was a good book once I'd got into it. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 536,650 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 5,367 in Romantic Action & Adventure 9,804 in Romantic Comedy (Books) 11,245 in Romantic Suspense (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 1,646 Reviews | ## Images ![ANGEL: For Fans of Women's Fiction and Atmospheric 20th Century Historical Stories - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71j0OWLg8fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by R***L on 30 July 2013* Refreshing story, full of interesting characters.
