Synopsis
A house carved fine as a jewelry box, a painted garden, an angel in a palm tree. These are only some of the marvels of the Russian estate on which Nina Karsavina grows up, surrounded by her beautiful mother, her eccentric father, her sister Katya, and the housekeeper Darya. But when her father gradually loses his sanity after the death of her mother, Nina takes the difficult decision to leave her homeland behind and marry a complete stranger. Over the next 80 years, the family will scatter across the globe in the wake of the Russian Revolution and two World Wars. It is only when Nina’s own granddaughter Julia, an artist, begins a search for her roots that the family’s tragic history can be pieced together for the first time.

Review
'Wonderfully evocative with an epic historical sweep.' WESTERN MAIL 'Penny Sumner's inspired debut novel Tree of Angels ... takes the reader on an emotional journey through pre-revolutionary Russia to war-torn Britain and the tropics of Northern Australia ... wonderfully evocative.' OXFORD TIMES 'This is a great family saga covering 80 years ... There's a great sadness in the book but the story grips the reader from the early days of the century right through the wars and on to the new wrold. It is a meaty book, a story well told ... Sumner's next book will be eagerly awaited.' DUBLIN EVENING HERALD
