Send me an angel… but maybe not like that

I was interested to scroll through the Goodreads reviews of Robert Nathan’s The Bishop’s Wife, a book not as well known or as much loved as its film adaptations (the 1947 movie of the same name, and the 1996 movie The Preacher’s Wife).

While the darker story didn’t satisfy many readers who loved the films, some readers saw value in it, as clearly did the film adapters. When it goes public domain in 50 days, more will have opportunities to adapt it or enjoy it as-is.
