Miss Garnet's angel /
Vickers, Salley.
London : Harper Perennial,
2008, c2000.
When her friend Harriet dies, Miss Julia Garnet seeks solace in a visit to Venice where a lifetime of caution is challenged. In this city of evocative beauty she encounters paintings telling the ancient story of Tobais, who journeys to find love, unaware that his companion is the Archangel Raphael. As Julia Garnet unravels the mysterious story's history, her own life is thrown into question as sorrow and joy intertwine and, like the shifting sea-light of Venice, nothing is quite what it seems.
