«Angel» is the novel by Elizabeth Taylor, published by Rivages in paperback (365 pages, in French).
The novel portrays Angel, an extravagant young woman willfully blind to reality, who despises the shop where her mother works and devotes herself entirely to writing. The story turns that vocation into a dramatic spiral and shows how the protagonist, anything but angelic, builds her own world against the everyday.
This French edition belongs to the Rivages poche/Bibliothèque étrangère collection, number 41, with a translation by Tina Jolas and a preface by Diane de Margerie. The original novel was published in 1957.
For readers of classics and literary fiction, with a female protagonist absorbed by her literary vocation.
