Review
...the highlight of the collection is the author's witty set of stories about her own guardian angel. It's then that Ms. Maitland's mixture of the spiritual and the quotidian truly comes alive. -- The New York Times Book Review, Linda Rodgers
Readers of this outstanding collection of stories will be transported into the imagined worlds of saints, martyrs, and angels -- where extraordinary discoveries and moving insights await. Based on Bible themes, this imaginative tales by Sara Maitland offers fresh insights about spiritual women of courage such as Sarah, Mary, Martha, Pilate's wife Claudia, Lady Godiva, Radegund, Margaret Clitherow, Mary Fisher, Perpetua, and Felicity. Angel & Me showcases a final section containing a witty and moving account of the author's fictional relationship with her guardian angel. Angel & Me is delightful reading. -- Midwest Book Review
From Library Journal
This thoughtfully written collection of short stories from Christian feminist and theologian Maitland (A Big Enough God, Riverhead: Putnam, 1996) provides a look at some famous women of the ages, as well a some fictional stories. In the first of three sections, Maitland describes the life of Sarah throughout her long marriage to Abraham. The second section retells the stories of such famous Christians, saints, and martyrs as Lady Godiva, Radegund, and Margaret Clitherow. The last section is a witty account of the author's personal relationship with her guardian angel. Maitland writes with intelligence and grace, making her collection a compelling and satisfying account of religious lives of the past and present.
