Amazon.com description: Product Description: Angelica Deverell, una adolescente mitomana, es la hija de una tendera de clase baja cuya hermana trabaja en la casa de los senores de la zona y ayuda a pagar la educacion de Angel (cuyo nombre de pila es el mismo de la hija de estos senores). Angel comienza a escribir novelones gotico-romanticos, grandilocuentes, falsos y fascinantes, que la convertiran en una escritora de moda, la haran rica, y la convenceran de que ella es una heroina de sus propias novelas... Una historia llena de ecos y alusiones, de un entramado de relaciones sociales y fascinaciones equivocas en la que la pasion por la literatura, por deleznables que sean sus resultados, acaba arrasando varias vidas. / Angelica Deverell, a mythomaniac teenager, is the daughter of a working class shopkeeper whose sister works in the houses of the upper echelons of society and helps pay for Angel's education. Angel begins to write enormous gothic-romantic, gradiloquent, false and fascinating novels, turning her into a fashionable writer, making her rich and eventually she becomes convinced that she is a heroine of one of her own books.
