The Angel Tree: A captivating mystery from the bestselling author of The Seven Sisters series Main Market Edition, Kindle Edition

by Lucinda Riley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 21,616 ratings

The Angel Tree is a powerful story of family mysteries and forgotten pasts, from Lucinda Riley, international bestselling author of the Seven Sisters series.

Thirty years have passed since Greta left Marchmont Hall, a grand and beautiful house nestled in the hills of rural Wales. But after a tragic accident, more than two decades of her life have vanished from memory. When she returns to the Hall for Christmas, she has no recollection of her past there.

Then, during a walk through the wintry landscape, Greta stumbles across a grave in the woods. Though the inscription is weathered, the headstone still tells her: a little boy is buried here.

The discovery strikes a chord in Greta's mind, igniting a quest to recover her lost memories. A quest that will take her deeper into her own life, and that of her daughter . . .

'Sweeping, absorbing, beautifully written and utterly compelling' – Lancashire Evening Post

A version of this story has previously been published under the title Not Quite an Angel, under the name Lucinda Edmonds – now extensively rewritten as The Angel Tree.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lucinda Riley was born in 1965 in Ireland, and after an early career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her first book aged twenty-four. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and continue to strike an emotional chord with all cultures around the world. The Seven Sisters series specifically has become a global phenomenon, creating its own genre, and there are plans to create a seven-season TV series.

Her books have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Italian Bancarella prize, The Lovely Books award in Germany, and the Romantic Novel of the Year award. In 2020 she received the Dutch Platinum award for sales over 300,000 copies for a single novel in one year – an award last won by J K Rowling for Harry Potter.

In collaboration with her son Harry Whittaker, she also devised and wrote a series of books for children called ‘The Guardian Angels’ series.

Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk in England, in 2015 she fulfilled her dream of buying a remote farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her spiritual home, and indeed this was where her last five books were written.

Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died on June 11th 2021, surrounded by her family.

    Thought this was a gripping book that really had me turning pages all the time when I had a spare sec. I didn't like one of the main characters and couldn't understand her attraction but that said it didn't deter from the story. Great book would read books from this author again. Has really got me into family saga secrets book.

    Typically Lucinda Riley really brings her characters to life. The whole narrative is so vivid I found myself reliving events from the story in my mind. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a bit of drama and romance. Being a slow reader I sometimes had trouble remembering characters who were introduced early on and didn’t resurface until later. That certainly did not detract from the quality of a very compelling, readable story.
