'Writes like a haunted angel' The Times
When a friend dies, Júlia Garnet goes to stay in Venice, where a lifetime of caution is challenged. She encounters the paintings in the local church which teli the story of Tobias and the Angel. The ancient tale of Tobias, who travels to Media unaware he is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, unfolds alongside Júlia Garnet's contemporary journey. As she unravels the story's history, Júlia's own life is thrown into question - for, like the shifting sea-light of Venice, nothing here is quite as it seems. Salley Vickers writes with a poise and a wit which belies the novel's deeper themes: love, death and the growth of the humán spirit. This many-layered növel truly defies the usual categories.
