Description

Set against the tumultuous backdrops of London and New York, No Angel is, as Good Housekeeping wrote, "an absorbing page-turner, packed with believable characters and satisfyingly extreme villains, eccentrics and manipulators." Enter the world of the rich charismatic Lytton family and their powerful publishing empire in this passionate family saga, spanning the Edwardian era to World War I and the excesses of the glamorous twenties. Enter the world of Celia Lytton—a woman who is used to getting her way. She moves through life making difficult and often dangerous decisions that affect herself and others—not only her husband, Oliver, and their children; but the destitute Sylvia Miller, whose life is transformed by Celia's intrusion; Oliver's daunting elder sister, who is not all she appears to be; and Sebastian Brooke, for whom Celia makes the most dangerous decision of all.

Reviews

AudioFile Magazine...
Celia marries into the publishing house of Lytton and soon shows that she's a brilliant businesswoman in a time when women were meant to stay home and tend the children. Twenty years in Celia's life, before and after WWI, are covered, with narrator Carrington MacDuffie doing a terrific job, crossing class and gender lines with ease, never striking a false note. MacDuffie's performance adds richness to Vincenzy's characters, including Celia's opinionated mother, her dynamic sister-in-law, a poverty-stricken family, and a sexy author. With behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing in the publishing business, romantic manipulations, infidelities, and the ordinary stuff of daily life, MacDuffie's superb reading treats listeners to a series of engaging plots and subplots, fascinating characters, and a strong sense of time and place.
