Do you accept the life youβre given or fight for the life you want? β©Sydney, 1942 β©Recently orphaned, Angel Martin moves into a boarding house populated by an assortment of eccentric and colourful characters. Sheβs befriended by the gregarious Winifred Varnham β a vision in exotic fabrics β and the numerically gifted Barnaby Grange. But not everyone is kind and her scrimping landlady, Missus Potts, is only the beginning of Angelβs troubles.β© Angel refuses to accept her fate and focusses her affections on her two maiden aunts. Despite their resistance, she is determined to forge a sense of belonging. Her visits to the auntsβ house on the Bay soon expand her world in ways she couldnβt have imagined. β©Elizabeth Stead brings her classic subversive wit and personal insight to this nostalgic portrait of wartime Sydney. In Angel Martin, she has created a singular and irrepressible character. A true original.
