Description
About the Book
When her friend Harriet dies, Miss Julia Garnet seeks solace in a visit to Venice where a lifetime of caution is challenged. In this city of evocative beauty she encounters paintings telling the ancient story of Tobais, who journeys to find love, unaware that his companion is the Archangel Raphael. As Julia Garnet unravels the mysterious story's history, her own life is thrown into question as sorrow and joy intertwine and, like the shifting sea-light of Venice, nothing is quite what it seems.Book Synopsis
Amidst the labyrinthine streets of Venice, Julia has a revelation that will forever change her life. After the death of her longtime friend and flatmate, retired British history teacher Julia Garnet does something completely out of character: She takes a six-month rental on a modest apartment in Venice. She befriends a young Italian boy and English twins who are restoring a fourteenth-century chapel. And she falls in love for the first time in her life with an art dealer named Carlo. Juxtaposing Julia's journey of self-discovery with the apocryphal tale of Tobias and the Archangel Raphael, Miss Garnet's Angel tells a lyrical, incandescent story of love, loss, miracles, and redemption and of one woman's transformation and epiphany.Review Quotes
Praise for Miss Garnet's Angel "Artfully wrought, told with a bracing directness and lucidity . . . a gem." --The Wall Street Journal "Novel-writing at its finest and most eloquent . . . splendid . . . the sort of book that effortlessly, like angels, or sunlight on Venice's rippling waterways, casts brightness and beauty into those private and most shadowed recesses of the human heart." --The Christian Science Monitor
