This is Angel by Elizabeth Taylor.Īs well as the obvious interest for readers who are also novelists, this book is a wonderful study of a girl’s life, a girl who doesn’t take no for an answer, who grows into a woman who finds it impossible to accept advice or guidance from anyone. Angel, already living the life of a grand novelist, writes a second and a third. Her publisher agrees to take on The Lady Irania with misgivings but it flies off the shelves and a new romantic novelist is born.
