An Angel in Australia is a 2002 novel by Thomas Keneally. [1]
Set in Australia during World War II, it follows the life of a young Catholic priest, Father Frank Darragh, in 1940s Sydney.
A review in the Australian Book Review called it "an oxymoronic book — a subdued novel", [5] and further "Its accent is meditative, its notes of sadness leavened by the resilient self-regard of the characters he [Keneally] has mustered.". [5]
An Angel in Australia has also been reviewed by The Sydney Morning Herald, [6] and The New York Times. [7]
