The magnificent sequel to A Crowning Mercy, Fallen Angels reunites New York Times bestseller Bernard Cornwell—whom the Washington Post calls, “perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today”—with co-author Susannah Kells for a breathtaking story brimming with excitement, intrigue, danger, and passion.

I loved this novel that was originally written by Susanne Kells. This is not like the typical novels by her husband Bernard Cornwell. Though there are some violent scenes, it's free of the battle obsession that Cornwell can get into. It's a very dramatic woman's story but told in an omniscient point of view with lots of mystery, twists and turns, and with a satisfying ending.

Joseph Lazare grows up believing his black hair and olive skin come from a Spanish grandmother, and he’s shocked to learn she was an enslaved African. At 13, Joseph allows racial prejudice to limit his future and chooses the seminary. At 23, he is ordained “a priest forever”. When he meets Tessa Conley, a devout Irish immigrant who shares his passions for music and botany, Joseph’s ordered world cracks at its foundation. He must conceal his true feelings as Tessa marries another man—a plantation owner who treats her like property.

Outstanding Historical Fiction

This novel, its characters, and its settings enraptured me! The author's storytelling is beautiful and exciting, taking you on an adventure through the lives of the Lazare family. The historical detail was incredible... I learned so much and really felt what it was like to live during the times. I love the incorporation of not only how the family struggles with their secret heritage, as many families of the times did, and the fine details of their spiritual traditions, but also the incorporation of the cultural aspects such as the Opera and other performances that came through town. These often get left out of historical fiction novels. And of course the love story is amazing!
The narration is equally amazing. The narrator is adept at a wide variety of accents expressed in dialects particular to each character. And he sings several songs, as well!
