Miss Garnet's Angel
ByPublisher Description
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.

“A nice story, it’s never too late to start living life. A nice life affirming story of self discovery, I loved the incorporation of the book of Tobit, also.”

“This book isn’t what I would normally gravitate towards but seeing as I’m planning an Italy trip it felt right. There were some very interesting characters and the story was okay but it just got a bit weird and not in a good way. Don’t think I’d be looking to read this author again sadly.”
