Angel (Teenager, Poverty, Author, Success, Adaptation)
  
PLOT: The movie is based on the novel by Elizabeth Taylor (not the famous actress). Fifteen-year-old Angel (Romola Garai) writes stories that allow her to escape the poverty around her and retreat to a world of romance. She knows she is different, that she is destined to become a feted authoress, owner of great riches and of Paradise House. After reading The Lady Irania, publishers Brace and Gilchrist are certain the novel will be a success, in spite of�and perhaps because of�its overblown style. But they are curious as to who could have written such a book. Also starring Sam Neill. AUTHOR: Elizabeth Taylor
