In today's media-dominated, consumer society we are constantly besieged by myriad babel voices telling us what to eat, what to buy, what to do, how to live... what to think even. Whisperings of Angels reminds us to listen to those subtler voices we so often forget or ignore - voices counselling us to seek paths that lead towards inner calm and the deeper silences of the soul. Angels, messengers, in many forms; those whispering voices in poetry, writing, even painting and music. Messages when we are ready to hear them. We are all angels when we can find our 'voice' in our own lives. Interspersed with the author's own contemplations on this interesting, irritating, magnificent thing called life is a personal selection from loved writers, poets and others - of 'angel voices' - which have helped her over the years when she most needed them. The messages are everywhere for us; listen... and you may hear that 'sound which cannot be heard', the sound of life.
