Description

A darkly witty novel about literary worth, ambition, and romantic idealism is set in turn-of-the-century England. Angelica Deverell lives above her mother's grocery shop, but spends her days dreaming of a life of luxury and writing popular novels. Her imagination becomes her reality, but she soon finds herself driven by a desire for success and a determination to overcome any obstacles. This self-aware, humorous novel sharply satirizes its protagonist while acknowledging the intensity of her imagination and the rigor of her work, presenting a fully human, complicated, and sympathetic character.
