The Gate of Angels

Odd, intriguing and charming. A early 20th century tale of two people - a physicist at a Cambridge college and an out-of-luck nurse apprentice from London - whose fortunes entwine because of a road accident. It's a witty and subtle portrait of a time and a people, hinting at changes to come, in physics, the world, and women's liberation. And then it even turns into a ghost story somehow. I am left baffled and enchanted, not quite sure what to make of it.
