Margy Rose is a talented but nervous violinist given to bouts of stage fright and unrequited love; Webster Hale is a biologist who, on principle, refuses to kill animals in order to study them. A novel told in stories, Angels Go Naked follows their vexed love story and the collision course they call their life. Yet their connection with each other is never in doubt and at the end of this sad, funny and moving tale, there may be hope, as life and love prove unexpectedly resilient.
