Publisher's Synopsis
"A week before they killed her, Beatrice told them about the dead birds, the guillemot, the glass-eyed buzzards, the sparrowhawks in clusters on the mantlepiece..." When the First World War breaks out, Jonathan Crane goes off to fight, leaving his beautiful, glamorous American bride at home with the other women in the village. But Beatrice is a woman with a past, and even though she has buried the secrets of her life back in New York, the story of how she became the Angel of Brooklyn can't remain hidden forever.
