Angel of Brooklyn is a delightfully illustrative novel about a homesick new bride with a big secret. It is charming and tender in equal measure and Jenkins tells the story of her heroine with a beguiling innocence that captures your imagination from the beginning

A joy to read
John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Ingenious and gripping
Times Literary Supplement
Jenkins' 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
Jenkins' third novel is set in two real places... but is about the ways in which we imagine the world
Daily Telegraph
Jenkins's novel is well-written, elegantly constructed...the arresting opening and skilful characterisation demonstrate Jenkins's strengths as a writer, along with her powerful evocation of place
Alex Larman, The Observer
Lighthearted and confident, a bouncy, enjoyable read
Observer
