Flawed beauty laid bare in this tense, heated, compelling novel for teenagers.

Fifteen-year-old Samson Ashburner has always felt like an outsider - even before the accident that left his face scarred and his confidence shattered. With the jeers and taunts of the local children and his mother ringing in his ears, Samson malingers like a dark cloud over the Cumbrian landscape. His only refuge is his ancestor's charcoal-burning hut deep in the nearby woods and it is here that he encounters Angel Obscura, a gypsy girl who teachers Samson that not everybody takes him at face value. But Angel is not all that she seems, and Samson is drawn into a web of deceit and shady dealings with an explosive outcome.

Reviews for The Anarchist's Angel

A tremendously satisfying novel . . . Tense and exciting. 4 1/2 stars -- Jill Murphy * The Bookbag * A credible, tense and dark novel -- Mary Arrigan * Irish Examiner * This is an intriguing novel. It moves at a good pace and keeps the reader on side. The main character for all his doom and gloom is engaging. Even the weirdly duplicitous Angel has a curious fascination * Books for Keeps * Teeters on a precipice between savagery and immense compassion, it crackles with energy and the seering heat of deep felt, raw, human emotions -- Jake Hope * The Bookseller *
