Items related to Angel of Brooklyn
In January, 1914 Jonathan Crane returns home from his travels with a new American bride, former Coney Island showgirl Beatrice. In the remote Lancashire village Beatrice is the focus of attention, the men captivated by her beauty, and the women initially charmed by tales of her upbringing in Normal, Illinois with her father, an amateur taxidermist, and her brother, a preacher although she will take the story of how she became the Angel of Brooklyn to her grave. But when the men head off to fight in the Great War the glamorous newcomer slowly becomes an object of suspicion and jealousy for the women who are left behind and as the years pass, and their resentment grows, Beatrice’s secret proves to be her undoing. Beautifully observed, tragic, funny, and so evocative that you can taste the candy floss at Coney Island and feel the chill of wartime England, this is an extraordinary, heartbreaking story.

Review:
"A captivating read . . . I’ll eat my hat if its not top of the pack in paperback. Such a tender and moving story deserves readers—and lots of them." —Publishing News
"Jenkins's tender narrative voice is well suited to a heroine still innocent enough to see the good in people . . . It's a tall order to mix American Gothic with gritty Northern realism, but Jenkins likes to keep herself and her readers entertained. This invigorating novel bottles the seasonal delights of both Coney and Morecambe Bay." —Independent
