Angel

“A dreary city tenement provides backdrop to this tale of exclusion and the magic it takes to become accepted”

How does a girl from a poor Edwardian household, with no schooling in the world she means to enter, end up at the top of the best seller lists? Angel Deverell (Romola Garai) writes lurid romances that critics despise and readers can't put down. François Ozon follows her toward an aristocratic brother and sister who both fall for her, and every bit of that fortune is staked on a fantasy she cannot stop writing.
