Angels of Destruction – Keith Donohue

“A magical tale of love and redemption that is as wonderfully written as it is captivating . . . Angels earns its wings.”

– Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Margaret Quinn lives alone, quietly mourning the disappearance of her only child, who fled ten years earlier to join a radical student group known as the Angels of Destruction.

On a cold winter’s night, a nine-year-old girl arrives on Margaret’s doorstep, claiming to be an orphan with no place to go. This child beguiles Margaret, and together they hatch a plan to pass her off as her newly found granddaughter, Norah Quinn.

Their conspiracy is made vulnerable by Norah’s magical revelations to the children of the town, and by a lone figure shadowing the girl, who threatens to reveal the child’s true identity and purpose. Who are these strangers really? And what is their connection to the past, the Angels, and Margaret’s long-missing daughter?

凯斯•唐纳胡（Keith Donohue）

出生于一个爱尔兰裔的美国家庭，在七个孩子中排行第四，从小就觉得自己可能是个换生灵。他的第一份工作是在美国艺术基金会担任讲稿撰写人，在长达八年的工作中，利用课余时间获得文学博士学位。

一九七四年立志以写作为业，并花了七年时间写下处女作《失窃的孩子》。此书尚未出版即受关注，美国亚马逊网上书店更是秘密买下电影版权，作为进军好莱坞的第一炮。随后，《失窃的孩子》不仅名列各大畅销书排行榜，更获得二〇〇六年《轨迹》杂志最佳新人作品奖，并入围鹅毛大奖，是亚马逊网上书店文学小说榜和奇幻科幻榜双料冠军。

《毁灭天使》是唐纳胡的第二本小说。出版后广受好评，并荣获《华盛顿邮报》2009年十大好书。
