The Angeline Gower Trilogy
3 primary works Complete
Book 1
‘Spectacularly worth reading’ The Times
Longlisted for the Orange Prize
A fast-paced literary thriller in which ex-belly dancer Evangeline’s fight to protect three-year-old Lily draws her into the seedy underworld of her past – the first book in Louisa Young’s celebrated Angeline Gower trilogy.
Angeline Gower had no choice, and now she’s very glad she didn’t.
Angeline is reformed. She’s thrown off the bike, the travel, the dancing, and taken on the care of her late sister’s baby, Lily. Domestic bliss has trumped wild adventure. At least – until a misdemeanour leaves her owing a crooked cop a favour (and what a favour) re-treading her old life, befriending her old boyfriend and oh, getting in with a drug cartel.
Never confounded by the intricate web of lies and deceit that lead her away from Lily, Angeline is a heroine of the new guard in this deliciously funny and razor-sharp tale.
Book 2
The sparky, funny sequel to Louisa Young’s acclaimed first novel of belly-dancing, motorbikes and single-parenthood.
Angeline has a surprise waiting for her, and it's one that threatens everything she holds dear.
Everything used to mean herself and her Harley Davidson; now it means her sister’s baby, Lily, and a life that they have just got back on track. But these letters bring a threat that cannot be ignored, and send Angeline back to Cairo, where love, chaos and – maybe – redemption are lying in wait for her.
Ever intrepid, Angeline is a heroine of the new guard in the second instalment of Louisa Young’s deliciously funny and razor-sharp trilogy.
