凱斯•唐納鬍（Keith Donohue）

齣生於一個愛爾蘭裔的美國傢庭，在七個孩子中排行第四，從小就覺得自己可能是個換生靈。他的第一份工作是在美國藝術基金會擔任講稿撰寫人，在長達八年的工作中，利用課餘時間獲得文學博士學位。

一九七四年立誌以寫作為業，並花瞭七年時間寫下處女作《失竊的孩子》。此書尚未齣版即受關注，美國亞馬遜網上書店更是秘密買下電影版權，作為進軍好萊塢的第一炮。隨後，《失竊的孩子》不僅名列各大暢銷書排行榜，更獲得二〇〇六年《軌跡》雜誌最佳新人作品奬，並入圍鵝毛大奬，是亞馬遜網上書店文學小說榜和奇幻科幻榜雙料冠軍。

《毀滅天使》是唐納鬍的第二本小說。齣版後廣受好評，並榮獲《華盛頓郵報》2009年十大好書。

"A magical tale of love and redemption that is as wonderfully written as it is captivating . . . Angels earns its wings."

– Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Margaret Quinn lives alone, quietly mourning the disappearance of her only child, who fled ten years earlier to join a radical student group known as the Angels of Destruction.

On a cold winter’s night, a nine-year-old girl arrives on Margaret’s doorstep, claiming to be an orphan with no place to go. This child beguiles Margaret, and together they hatch a plan to pass her off as her newly found granddaughter, Norah Quinn.

Their conspiracy is made vulnerable by Norah’s magical revelations to the children of the town, and by a lone figure shadowing the girl, who threatens to reveal the child’s true identity and purpose. Who are these strangers really? And what is their connection to the past, the Angels, and Margaret’s long-missing daughter?
