Melanie Caldicott (6 KP) rated A Quiet Belief in Angels in Books
Apr 29, 2021
However, I found the prose clunky with clumsy metaphors which felt shoehorned in at times. I also found the narrative of the protagonist Joseph tiresome at times, particularly when there were pious judgemental statements being made in a way that felt you were being preached at.
Overall I would say the plot was compelling and intriguing but the writing style lets the book down.
