Tracy Chevalier
An elegant, daring, original, and compelling novel, set against a gaslit backdrop of social and political turbulence in early 20th-century London, Falling Angels draws a picture of family life that exposes the prejudices and flaws of a changing time.
In January 1901, two families become inextricably linked when their daughters meet in a fashionable London cemetery. Separated by social class as well as taste, the Waterhouses cling to traditions while the Colemans look ahead to a more modern society. As the girls grow up and the nation emerges from the shadows of oppressive Victorian values, one woman's bid for greater personal freedom has disastrous consequences, changing the lives of both families forever.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Chevalier again proves herself an astute observer of a social era...[she] shows imaginative skill in two neatly accomplished surprises, and the denouement packs an emotional wallop." (Publishers Weekly)
"[Twomey's narration is] a quiet tour de force that makes this intriguing tale enthralling." (AudioFile)

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes, but not this audible edition because the American accent totally destroys the atmosphere of the book which is set in London, England.What did you like best about this story?
The details of life at the beginning of the twentieth century.Would you be willing to try another one of Anne Twomey’s performances?
Not unless it was an American setting for the book, but even then I'd be wary as I don't like her 'breathless' delivery.Wrong narrator
