Dangerous Angel - Tapa dura

During the late 1950s at a convent in Northern England, a young nun is seduced and violently raped by a demon lover in the guise of an angel. After undergoing an exorcism, Jane is committed to an asylum. Upon release, she begins a new life in Paris, where she takes a lover. Pregnant, Jane leaves for the French Alps to have her baby. But she becomes convinced she is being stalked by the demon who can take on human form. After Jane's baby is born, she says her child was kidnapped, while authorities accuse her of murder. In Dangerous Angel, this chilling novel by Susie Reynolds, Jane's life is told through her journals, which offer a glimpse into the repressive church and the strict moral codes of the fifties. Author Susie Reynolds grew up in the West Midlands of England and attended college in Liverpool. She is a drama teacher and also edits and writes for a magazine. She now lives in Brittany, France, and frequently visits Paris and its churches, where much of this book was set. Reynolds is currently working on her second novel.
