Title: A sentimental novel; does not live up to its promise.
Review: Widower Conrad spies an angel in his deceased wife's garden. It's all down hill from there. He has many flashbacks about his moody, wise, humane wife, but she never became believeable to me as a reader. Conrad mucks around trying to figure out what his life should be about without his beloved Rose. Towards the end, a deus ex machina-like plot device of a flood brings crisis and meaning to Conrad's life, but most readers will be asleep by then. This much-hyped novel which ties in with the (yawn) angel craze, is a poorly edited, overlong manuscript full of description and very little character development or plot.... Occasionally, there are bright spots, such as moments when Conrad works with his homing pigeons, but I for one do not see how this book got so popular. I forced myself to finish it but it wasn't worth my time (apologies to the author).
