AlbakiReads Editorial A 1960s Sydney story of reinvention, attachment, and protection
A 1960s Sydney story of reinvention, attachment, and protection
Set in Sydney’s Kings Cross in 1960, Angel begins with Harriet Purcell stepping away from a conventional home life and into a rooming house run by fortune-teller Mrs. Delvecchio Schwartz. The new environment brings Harriet into a more unpredictable world of adventure and passion, but the novel’s central bond is her growing love for Flo, Mrs. Schwartz’s mute four-year-old daughter. When tragedy intervenes, Harriet’s attachment to Flo becomes a question of responsibility, endurance, and survival. Against the social contrasts of Kings Cross and Harriet’s former respectable life, the book brings romance, fortune-telling, and family-like devotion into the same story.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in romance set in 1960s Sydney
- Those drawn to stories of women remaking their lives
- Readers seeking fiction centered on a protective bond between a woman and a child

The bestselling author of THE THORN BIRDS returns with a novel of laughter, passion and more than a little magic ...
1960, Sydney's Kings Cross. Harriet Purcell leaves her conventional, respectable home and respectable, passionless boyfriend and moves into a rooming house owned by Mrs. Delvecchio Schwartz.
There, Harriet finds a life she relishes - excitement, adventure and passion. Mrs. Delvecchio Schwartz makes a living from telling fortunes, and is mother to 4-year-old Flo. Beautiful little Flo is mute, and Harriet comes to love her as if Flo were her own - and must protect her at all costs when tragedy strikes...
Angel is Colleen McCullough at her vintage best, drawing on her own experiences of living in the Cross in the 1960s and writing of a world that has long gone. Most of all, it is a tale of a woman's love for a child, and what she is prepared to endure to ensure her survival.
