From the author of the Seven Sisters series, The Angel Tree is Lucinda Riley's compelling mystery of family secrets and forgotten pasts on the sweeping pastures of south-east Wales.
Read by the award-winning actor Juliet Stevenson (Truly, Madly, Deeply)
'Sweeping, absorbing, beautifully written and utterly compelling' – Lancashire Evening Post
Thirty years have passed since Greta left Marchmont Hall, a grand and beautiful house nestled in the hills of rural Monmouthshire. But, after a tragic accident, more than two decades of her life have disappeared from memory. When she returns to the Hall for Christmas, she has no recollection of her past there.
Then, during a walk through the wintry landscape, she stumbles across a grave in the woods. Though the inscription is weathered, the headstone still tells her: a little boy is buried here.
The discovery strikes a chord in Greta's mind, igniting a quest to recover her lost memories. A quest that will take her deeper into her own life, and that of her daughter . . .
Praise for Lucinda Riley:
'A masterclass in beautiful writing' – The Sun
'Captivating . . . poignant yet uplifting' – Woman's Own
'Heart-wrenching, uplifting and utterly enthralling' – Lucy Foley, author of The Hunting Party
A version of this story has previously been published under the title Not Quite an Angel, under the name Lucinda Edmonds – now extensively rewritten as The Angel Tree.

Indlæseren er god, men portrætterer lidt Tjesca som værende mentalt tilbagestillet fremfor psykisk syg, hvilket er irriterende

Normalt læser jeg Riley's bøger fordi man er garanteret et indlevende univers og en sikker emotionel rejse. Universet er helt i orden men det emotionelle haltede. Jeg blev i tvivl, om hvem der var hovedperson og hvad hoved-historien var. Det er David og Greta's relation, stærkt påvirket af familien og deres roller. Det giver fint mening til sidst.Oplæseren er dygtig til at skabe stemning, men hun er komisk dårlig til dialekter, og desvære læser hun de kvindelige hovedroller op med skabede stemmer, som ikke indgyder sympati.

Hørte den færdig. Men lidt for forudsigelig. Og lidt for stereotyp i sin beskrivelse af en alvorlig sindslidelse
