Y'all know Melissande is Black, right?
She talks a lot about being dark skinned so why is the cover picture a white woman? The story was good but I was distracted by that.

What a wonderful short! Cannot wait to read Harlot and see what happens to Bill and Melisande!

It was a very sweet, straightforward love story, written with confidence and skill but not terribly memorable despite the subject matter. But since the last two things I've read / am still reading feature very clunky dialogues, I appreciate just the fact that this was written with effortless style.

Lovely story, have to read the next book now cos I really want life to work out well for Melisande and Bill. It was nice to realise that her mother did her best to keep Melisande out of prostitution until she had no choice to do otherwise.

Ms. Dahl's command of voice here is very good. The heroine's struggles are palpable. The novella is too short to have the heft this story deserves but, accounting for that limitation, Angel is a strong tale.
