TRANSIT of ANGELS
Available at online book retailers worldwide
Transit of Angels is an achingly beautiful love story.
A novel about love, death, grief and how to keep on living despite the devastation, Transit of Angels will make you cry, smile, gasp, ask unanswerable questions, travel to mysterious realms and, ultimately, explore ways in which hope can emerge even from the depths of darkness.
Is there life after death?
Angelica is thirty-four when her beloved husband, Bill, is killed in a motorbike accident.
She knows Bill is dead. Yet she yearns to be reunited with him.
In desperation, she begs him for a sign.
What happens next makes her leave the city and move to a quaint mudbrick cottage in a remote river valley where even the impossible feels sane.
As she delves further into mysterious realms she finds that not all is as it seems, and that grief – and life – have a way of carrying you forward, whether you like it or not.
