A mesmerising second novel from the acclaimed author of The Stolen Child.

Angels of Destruction is the mesmerising story of Norah, a nine-year-old girl who seems to materialise out of thin air when she arrives one bitterly cold night on the doorstep of Margaret Quinn. A widow who lives alone, Margaret has never got over the loss of her own child, a runaway called Erica who fled with her high school sweetheart, Wiley, to join a '60s-style band of West Coast revolutionaries known as Angels of Destruction.

Norah becomes Margaret's secret, a child possessed of magical qualities. But who is she really? And what is her purpose here? And what is this strange child's connection to Margaret's missing daughter?

Reviews for Angels of Destruction

Marvelous... Beautiful and wrenching The Washington Post This is a beautifully told story that's slightly eerie, compelling and sad -- Natasha Harding Sun An intriguing, intelligent tale... Donohue creates a world both strange and surprising while also touching and compassionate -- Antonia Charlesworth Big Issue
