In the novel The Mark of the Angel, the life of handsome Parisian flautist, Raphael, is changed forever when the enigmatic young Saffie answers his ad for a housekeeper. Nancy Huston presents a powerfully dramatic story of three war-embattled survivors set in the aftermath of World War II. The love triangle links Saffie, an orphaned German national; Raphael, her native-born, French, musician husband; and Andras, a Hungarian-Jewish Holocaust survivor who repairs and makes musical instruments.
