Product Description

Product Description

Sophie Black is a journalist who doesn't believe anything she can't see - until her latest interviewee tells her a tale of time gone by which Sophie can't seem to get out of her head. Three sisters, daughters of a caustic, blazingly intelligent blind poet names John Milton find their loyalties tested by the arrival of a fallen angel named Lazodeus. Set against the twin backdrops of the modern urban ritual magic scene and the bustle and colour of Restoration London, FALLEN ANGEL is a tale of angels and devils, art and lies, and sibling rivalry at its most irretrievably complicated.


About the Author

Kim Wilkins was born in London and emigrated to Brisbane with her family at the age of 4, where she has remained ever since. After high school, Kim worked variously in a fast food restaurant, as a secretary and, eventually, with a rock band, where she met her musician partner. Kim decided to return to education and studied for a degree in English Literature, graduating with honours last year. She now writes full-time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prioritised well above sleep, 14 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This book exceeded my high expectations of it. Favouring literature about Angels, especially fallen ones, I was delighted to find this book surpassed all others I've encountered. I seek out books/films with Angels in them, and am often disappointed by New Age angels or people being altruistic or insane. This was about what it said it was about. And then some.
With a thoroughly believable backdrop in Old London, and well-developed characters in well-investigated relationships, all skilfully blended with a perfectly-paced plot that kept the suspense going to the end, I found it impossible to stop reading.
I feel lucky to have found this author and shall be reading everything else by her as soon as I can.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have never read work like hers..., 10 Aug 2002
By Faye L. Booth "FLB" (The red rose county) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
...I could spend many lines ranting about why I adore Ms Wilkins' work, and why this book is the first product I've reviewed on Amazon, but that would be terribly interesting so I'll keep it short.

I found Kim's debut novel, The Infernal, in a bookshop when I was bored and browsing for something to read, and it proceeded to engulf my waking moments, and lead to many late nights up reading and many subsequent red-eyed mornings. Ihat's the way I am when I've just acquired a new Kim Wilkins novel - I have no life. Having just peered out of Fallen (not 'Falling') Angel - now read from cover to cover - I remain amazed at how this woman manages to write such gripping, unpredictable material time and time again. To do it once is luck...four times (with hopefully more to come) is a gift.

I won't try to condense the plot into this review - it's too complex and interwoven for that, and will ruin it for you all. I'll just say that I totally recommend any of Kim Wilkins' novels, and let you develop your own obsessive, unhealthy and disturbing addictions!!! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 18 Nov 2006
By xenofan "xenofan" (Nottinghamshire, UK) - See all my reviews
  
I'm new to the writings of Kim Wilkins, and happened upon this book by chance, when I was looking through some recommendations for good stories about angels. Most of the fiction involving angelic characters that I've read up until now has been fairly non-too-special. But not so with Fallen Angel.

I highly recommend this book. The characters are all well developed, interesting and likeable, the plot was unpredictable and interesting, with excellent conflict and strong character relationships throughout. The writing fitted the story wonderful; my only single minor gripe being perhaps the out-of-place use of the odd "modern" word by some of the characters. The ending was excellent and the plot extremely well paced throughout!
