A  New York Times bestseller From the author of the international bestseller  Girl With A Pearl Earring and At the Edge of the Orchard,  Tracy Chevalier once again paints a distant age with a rich and provocative palette of characters. Falling Angels  follows the fortunes of two families in the emerging years of the twentieth century in England, while the Queen's death reverberates through a changing nation. Told through a variety of shifting perspectives—wives and husbands, friends and lovers, masters and their servants, and a gravedigger's son— Falling Angels is graced with the luminous imagery that distinguished Girl With a Pearl Earring, Falling Angels is another dazzling tour de force from this "master of voices" ( The New York Times Book Review ).
