This is a story about a lonely retired school teacher who decides to spend 6 months in Venice Italy. The novel follows the teacher, Miss Garnet, from the time of Epiphany to the feast of Rapheal. The biblical story of angel Rapheal is woven into Miss Garnets day to day life in Venice. During this time she falls in love, experiences loss and eventually redemption.
Though this novel was a best seller in England, I feel that many Americans would find it boring. It appropriately has been referred to as a 'gentle' read. I would recommend MISS GARNET'S ANGEL to readers who have been to or hope to visit Venice and to those who love classic paintings and tours of old churches.
