Portrait Of An Angel is a haunting, romantic story set among the libraries, gardens and ancient corridors of Oxford. When eighteen-year-old Eleanor Gilroy begins university, she expects her new life to be filled with lectures, books and unfamiliar faces. What she doesn't expect is to become fascinated by a mysterious boy who seems strangely detached from the modern world, or to feel as though something about him has always been familiar. As autumn turns to winter, their friendship deepens into something neither of them can easily explain. Surrounded by forgotten paintings, secret corners and traces of a past Eleanor doesn't understand, she begins to wonder whether every meeting is really a first meeting. A story of art, yearning, memory and a love that seems to exist beyond the boundaries of time.
