Writing stories that are extravagant and fanciful, fifteen-year old Angel retreats to a world of romance, escaping the drabness of provincial life.   She knows she is different, that she is destined to become a feted authoress . . . 

Always intelligent, often subversive and never dull, Angels combines elegance, icy wit, and freshness in a stimulating cocktail, making it the perfect toast to the quiet horror of domestic life.  This edition features an introduction from Booker Prize winning author Hilary Mantel (Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies, The Mirror & the Light).

"An author of great subtlety, great compassion, and great depth." -- Sarah Waters, author of They Paying Guests, Fingersmith, and Tipping the Velvet
