I Believe in Angels by Fiona Cooper

I Believe in Angels

Fiona Cooper

‘In this dazzling collection of short stories, Fiona Cooper turns her witty gaze on a kaleidoscopic mix of characters. Here are wronged lovers and passionate dreamers; dole-queue heroes and French-Resistance heroines; children taking faltering steps in a chaotic world and waltzing grannies; religious fanatics, true believers, painters, and penguins. Interspersed with the joyously whimsical are tales that turn a searchlight on our deepest hopes and our darkest fears. Wry and ironic, this is nevertheless a celebration of love from a writer very firmly on the side of the angels.’
