[1] Set in Australia during World War II, it follows the life of a young Catholic priest, Father Frank Darragh, in 1940s Sydney.

A review in the Australian Book Review called it "an oxymoronic book — a subdued novel",[5] and further "Its accent is meditative, its notes of sadness leavened by the resilient self-regard of the characters he [Keneally] has mustered.".

[5] An Angel in Australia has also been reviewed by The Sydney Morning Herald,[6] and The New York Times.
