Average rating4.3
"Angelica Deverell, una adolescente mitómana al inicio de la novela, es la hija de una tendera de clase media muy baja cuya hermana trabaja en la casa de los señores de la zona y ayuda a pagar la educación de Angel (cuyo nombre de pila es el mismo de lahija de estos señores). Angel comienza a escribir novelones gótico-románticos, grandilocuentes, flasos y fascinantes, que la convertirán en una escritora de moda, la harán rica y la convencerán de que ella es una heroína de sus propias novelas ... Una historia, llena de ecos y alusiones, de un entramado de relaciones sociales y fascinaciones equívocas en la que la pasión por la literatura, por deleznables que sean sus resultados, acaba arrasando varias vidas."--Provided by publisher.

Overall I really enjoyed this! I saw the movie years ago but remembered hardly anything about it. Taylor's writing is really excellent and the story was well done. I thought it dragged on a bit long (I sat on the last 50 pages for a week...) but in the end I think it had to end the way it did. Angel was really interesting and awful in turns and I really liked watching her life unfold from fifteen to approximately sixty-five. I look forward to reading more of Taylor's work.
I picked up Angel and a couple other of the authors works while at a used bookstore. I hadn't heard of her before and I just adored this. I'm excited to delve into more of her novels.
