Cealie is sick of being nothing more than her mother's daughter. She dresses the way her mother wants, wears her hair the way her mother likes... and is the laughing stock of schoo l as a result. Then, on an impulse, Cealie cuts off her offending hair (it was only a haircut. Cealie had hardly expected to start World War Three). After a blazing row with her mother, she walks out, ending up squatting with Great Auntie Gwennie who lives in a remote village in mid-Wales. There, posing as a boy, Cealie not only makes some discoveries about her own identity, but also about her mother's past - and its haunting links with the present. Set partly in London but mostly in rural mid-Wales,this powerful novel explores an extraordinary relationship between a rebellious girl, an idealistic boy, and a senile old woman with her very own angel.
