The Gray Angels

"The Gray Angels" by Nalbro Bartley is a story based in the small, historic village of Birge’s Corners, where the lives of its residents become connected, mainly Abigail Clergy and Thurley Precore. The story takes place in a town that is dealing with its history while also slowly fading, with characters that go against the traditional. It begins by showing the different views of the young and old people in Birge's Corners, a town happily living at a slow pace while remembering past excitement. The introduction of Thurley Precore breathes new life into the town with her singing and how she grew up. Once her story meets Abigail Clergy, a woman living with loss and loneliness, relationships, goals, and the sad reality of forgotten dreams are investigated in the lives of Birge's Corners residents.
