The new edition of Salley Vicker’s sensational debut novel. ‘Miss Garnet’s Angel’ is a voyage of discovery; a novel about Venice but also the rich story of the explosive possibilities of change in all of us at any time.

Julia Garnet is a teacher. Just retired, she is left a legacy which she uses by leaving her orderly life and going to live – in winter – in an apartment in Venice. Its beauty, its secret corners and treasures, and its people overwhelm a lifetime of reserve and caution. Above all, she’s touched by the all-prevalent spirit of the Angel, Raphael.

The ancient tale of Tobias, who travels to Media unaware he is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, unfolds alongside Julia Garnet’s contemporary journey.

The two stories interweave with parents and landladies, restorers and priests, American tourists and ancient travellers abounding.

The result is an enormously satisfying journey of the spirit – and Julia Garnet is a character to treasure.

interesting to revisit this mysterious novel. The reader is quite mannered. Well worth a listen!

unusual love story

I’ve loved this book for ages and when I found Anna Massey was to read it, I was overjoyed. She does it beautifully, inhabiting the shoes of Julia garnett with great elegance. I couldn’t leave a 5 star review because of the (to my mind) gong sound when moving between periods. It upset me and I found it intrusive and something that should have stayed in a school production.
Apart from this, all beautiful!

Wonderful storytelling

A good tale well read. Miss Massey's cool precise voice suits this intriguing story well. Only four stars because of the foolish gong sounds interspersed too liberally - they are a dreadful distraction.

Delightful

Lovely tale, beautifully read but would have been better unabridged. I was conscious throughout that I was missing out on so much...

Unabridged would have been better
