"A sublime comedy, with wit and frolics that will make you laugh out loud."
GOOD BOOK GUIDE

Robert has taken a long time to fall in love and finally he does so – with Angela, the angel he's been waiting for all his life. Angela falls for Robert, the man she has not been waiting for all her life. It should be easy… But who is the sweet and mysterious Angela really? Why does she never invite him home? And why, exactly, has her Uncle Mikey been in an attic in Ireland for the last fifty years?

"A hugely enjoyable book. In Robert and Angela, O'Riordan has created characters the reader can't fail to warm to. 'The Angel in the House' is quite adorable."
SUNDAY TRIBUNE

"An enchanting love story, peopled with memorable characters and written with wit, insight and a sure understanding. O'Riordan is a witty and imaginative writer – the scene where Angela confronts a giant Glaswegian flasher is laugh-out-loud funny."
DUBLIN EVENING HERALD

"The world of this story, the city, the people, the extraordinary that exists in the ordinary, is observed with wonderful insight… We can see with clarity how people listen but don't always hear and how much of what is meant is obscured under layers of misunderstanding. Highly recommended."
IMPACT

"Highly agreeable… with a multitude of twists and turns."
