Angel

A nice book with a haunting story line.The whole book is in the form of a journal kept by the heroine Harriet Purcell. She is a X-Ray technician in teh 60's Australia. It starts with the dramatic way in which Harriet leaves home and rents a flat in the blue collar area Kings Cross where she meets head on with a way of life that she had been sheltered from till then.The story then deals with the coming of age of Harriet and the way she is drawn to the daughter of the resident soothsayer of The House. It showcases Harriet's sense of right and determination as she overcomes hurdles to make her angel her own....An interesting read...
