Sarah Dunant is a novelist, broadcaster and critic whose most recent book, Sacred Hearts, was serialised on Woman's Hour last year. Her story Wings of Desire is set in Florence, where an English couple are hoping the romance of the city may help them conceive the child they both long for. A missed turning leads to a church and an encounter with an unexpectedly human Angel Gabriel.
