Of Angels, Love, and
Miracles
June 16, 2010
Kathleen Valentine is an author with a vivid eye for
detail and a knack for telling a good story. This one is exceptionally
well told. It is the story of a tormented priest and an abused wife,
along with a cast of believable and capitivating characters. Throw
in a mysterious old abbey with a storied past, a string of murders,
and a globe-trotting villain and you have an engaging and entertaining
read. Lasting Values

I enjoyed this book over the course of two snowy days in Virginia.
I had just visited Maine and Massachusetts where this novel is set,
so I was ripe for the accents of these characters. Love and mystery- my favorite combination!
I savored this novel and did not want it to end.
I felt close to the characters yet was continually surprised by what
happened. Maggie is an enviable heroine and Gabe is a dream come true
handyman, complete with Zeke the dog. Refurbishing the old monastery,
given to Maggie from her demonic husband, Sinclair, provides an intriguing
backdrop for the story. Gorgeous Father Pete has loved Maggie but loves
his vocation more. The young artists assisting Maggie with her sculptures
add some gastronomical bits to the story which made me wish for some
lobster in my neighborhood! There were many more interesting characters--the
guys from the Arm Pit bar and their interesting "club" and Josef the
Amish man. There were times when I was unsure where the story was going
but it was very satisfying indeed. January 27, 2010 |
