Angelology

"Evangeline woke before the sun came up, when the fourth floor was silent and dark. Quiet, so as not to wake the sisters who had prayed through the night, she gathered her shoes, stockings, and skirt in her arms and walked barefoot to the communal lavatory. She dressed quickly, half asleep, without looking in the mirror. From a sliver of bathroom window, she surveyed the convent grounds, covered in a predawn haze. A vast snowy courtyard stretched to the water's edge, where a scrim of barren trees limned the Hudson. St. Rose Convent perched precariously close to the river, so close that in daylight there seemed to be two convents - one on land and one wavering lightly upon the water, the first folding out into the next, an illusion broken in summer by barges and in winter by teeth of ice. Evangeline watched the river flow by, a wide strip of black against the pure white snow. Soon morning would gild the water with sunlight."

So begins the debut novel that promises to be a thrilling bestselling blockbuster by Danielle Trussoni. Viking beat out seven other publishing houses in a bidding war for this intriguing new book. Religion, history, and fallen angels interweave into what looks like long evenings of reading pleasure.

It has been a long time since I bought a book. My copy of this one is a hot off the press, 'first edition first printing'. I am now looking to get it signed. However, the very first thing I intend to do is grab a cup of tea and read it.
