The evening of her return, her banished, outlaw brother bursts into the dining room. Is this to be the end of her peaceful existence and plans to marry?
Isabel’s brother, Julius, prides himself on his ability to rile people up and cause problems.

In reality, Julius’ appearance brings to light a story she never imagined, one that involves the angel Gabriel himself.
Are you looking for historical fiction wrapped in a tight bundle with believable, entrancing fantasy? If so, THE ANGEL OF BLYTHE HALL is your book. Hannah’s sharp, detailed and energetic tale of a woman returning home to be married and begin a family, only to find herself set on a treacherous course of uncovering her family’s, is a well-crafted novel. Isabeau’s kindness and realism instantly warm the reader’s heart, making it impossible to not hope that Isabeau receives everything she wants in life.
However, what truly stands out is the integration of paranormal, fantastical events into a traditional historical fiction book. This reviewer never dabbles in paranormal stories, but found that its inclusion in THE ANGEL OF BLYTHE HALL was not only enjoyable, but was what brought the book well outside the bounds of being anything ordinary. The novel is a great story from an extremely creative mind.
