A lovely, almost seasonal novella from Sally Clements.  This is more in the paranormal/fantasy type category of romance.  It almost reads like the contemporary romance that is Sally Clements' forte.It's about moving on and letting go - albeit in a different context.  Angela can't let go of her earthly life and of the husband from whom she was abruptly separated by a tragic accident on her wedding day.  Yes, being dead sucks.  He doesn't feel her arms around him or her kisses.  He doesn't even know that she sleeps wrapped around him every night.  But the trauma starts when he starts moving on and dating other women.  Will Angela accept the situation and move on?  Or will she haunt him and blight his earthly life forever, denying herself what joy the afterlife actually offers?  Her angelic mentor Lucen understands her feelings and patiently waits for her to become aware.I can't deny that the Irish touches worked a treat for me - Irish exile that I am, especially as I get homesick during the Christmas season.  But that's no reason why a non-Irish reader would feel left out reading this - the story's universal after all.In some ways, it's like any story of letting go and moving on.  In other ways it's delightfully different.  So read and enjoy.  A word of warning! You'll never see angels in quite the same way again!
