Format:Paperback
When my colleague told me about the humorous book his friend wrote about IVF and low sperm count - my response was that there is nothing humorous about either of those subjects (from my experience)! My curiosity got the better of me and I ordered Gabriel's Angel - it is by far the best book I have read in years! Everyone will be able to identify with one of the characters - maybe more! It's funny and witty but also sensitive and brought a tear to my eye more than once. It makes you think about heaven and God and St Peter and what happens when we die - without making you feel anxious about death and what's to come. I am seeing a lot of things a different perspective now!
Gabriel's Angel is a must read for everyone!!

This book is so well-written and the characters so well-drawn that even after repeated readings I'm still snorting with laughter and moved to tears (in all the right places). On average I read four or five novels a week and this is the best book I've read in ages. I can't analyse it but I love it. I just do.
Everyone should read Gabriel's Angel - buy it for yourself and buy it for your friends!

The superb columnist from the Nursing Times, Mark Radcliffe, brings his intelligence and laugh-out-loud wit to a very different beast with this debut novel. It revolves around a set of characters between life and death and heaven and hell who are trying to talk their way back to life on earth under a pilot scheme introduced by a God, who thinks it's good to talk. The hero of it all is the hapless Gabriel who is strangely more effective in God's therapy room than on terra firma. Delving into `relationships', group therapy, the perils of a new age God, the frustrations of IVF and much more, Gabriel's Angel is a comedic tour de farce. If you need a peg to hang this novel on, think David Nicholls meets Nick Hornby with an added sharpness and intellectual vigour that stops any drift into whimsy or sentimentality. An excellent book.
