Miss Garnet's Angel by Salley Vickers

Miss Garnet's Angel by Salley Vickers

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.

Salley Vickers is a Jungian psychotherapist and former university professor of literature. Her debut novel, Miss Garnet's Angel, was a book club favorite and a worldwide bestseller. She is a Royal Literary Fund fellow at Newnham College in Cambridge, UK, and lives in London. The Cleaner of Chartres is her most recent book.
