"Poor Angels offers sixteen stunning fictional tales - unforgettable stories in which moments of revelation illuminate lives." "In the title story, a garden statue is stolen and then spotted in the back of a car, hideously mutilated; 'Sleet and Snow' which won the Macallan award, deals with love and loss and old age; 'Rare Fish' conjures up a dinner party nightmare where French friends cast their eyes over family pets. Written with compassion, intelligence and perceptive humour, Chris Dolan's stories capture the mysteries of divine judgement and the oddities of family relationships."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
