A #1 New York Times Bestseller! "Funny, insightful, illuminating . . ." —The Boston Globe Twelve years ago, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil exploded into a monumental success, residing a record-breaking four years on the New York Times bestseller list (longer than any work of fiction or nonfiction had before) and turning John Berendt into a household name. The City of Falling Angels is Berendt's first book since Midnight, and it immediately reminds one what all the fuss was about. Turning to the magic, mystery, and decadence of Venice, Berendt gradually reveals the truth behind a sensational fire that in 1996 destroyed the historic Fenice opera house. Encountering a rich cast of characters, Berendt tells a tale full of atmosphere and surprise as the stories build, one after the other, ultimately coming together to portray a world as finely drawn as a still-life painting.

ARTY! Arty! called Mrs. Mayflower, from the window, one bright June morning. "Arty, darling! What is the child after? Just look at him, Mr. Mayflower!" I leaned from the window, in pleasant excitement, to see what new and wonderful performance had been attempted by my little prodigy - my first born - my year old bud of beauty, the folded leaves in whose bosom were just beginning to loosen themselves, and send out upon the air sweet intimations of an abounding fragrance. He had escaped from his nurse, and was running off in the clear sunshine, the slant rays of which threw a long shadow before him.

The plane began to fill, and when he looked up, a woman stood at the plane's entry door holding a carry-on bag. She wore glasses and a bulky overcoat. Her face told of hidden beauty, but her clothes spoke volumes. She peered at her ticket to find her seat number. Then she proceeded forward as if she were looking for row numbers. After he'd seen that she'd passed every available seat, he clucked his tongue and rolled his eyes as she headed straight toward him. An Angel in Disguise is a novel that speaks to single women and men who have given up on love. Only to find it truly does exist in the most unlikely of places, or should I say in a variety of masks and hidden agenda.
