It's Christmas Eve. Flurries of snow fall on the cobbled streets of Whitechapel and an abandoned baby, swaddled in a blanket, is found on a doorstep in Angel Lane . . .



Named after the street on which she was found, Angel Winter was blessed to be taken from the harsh streets into a loving home. But fate deals a cruel blow and she's torn from the only family she has ever known, and thrown onto the cobbles of Covent Garden to fend for herself.



With winter closing in, Angel scratches a living selling mistletoe to the City gentlemen who pass through the market, hoping they will take pity on her as she shivers in the snow. The only way she can survive is to make her own luck. She will never sell the one treasure that could feed her for a month, the gold and ruby ring that was hidden in her swaddling - it could hold the key to the secrets of her past . . .

I do love a Dilly Court novel as it’s like stepping back in time. I think I’ve not only learned but experienced periods of social history I might never have otherwise.

Her characters also shine – Angel here is the narrator throughout and a lovely girl we get to know gradually as she meets various people who will help shape her life in some way. She’s a strong character and has some obstacles to get past. I felt really sorry for her at times, but happy when she met friends and that Lumpy Lil! Ha there’s just some characters in a novel you really want to meet!

There are some twists too to enjoy and I gasped out at one of them in particular! No wonder the girl on the cover looks so miserable I thought – I can see why now.

There is lots to this novel, but in the end it’s a really nice Christmas story set in a real period of history and amidst the struggles of those who sold trinkets at Convent Garden. There are some wonderful characters and relationships in this novel. Dolly and Angel’s friendship in particular.

A great Christmas novel and one to read anytime really as apart from the mistletoe and snow, you can read it anytime – it’s more of a novel about the trials and tribulations of a girl who fights to take her rightful place in the world and I was championing her all the way through. Would that girl on the cover raise a smile I wondered? Not really as that would be a bit Dorian Gray, but I was routing for her!
