Saffy’s Angel Book Review The author of this book is Hilary McKay and was published by Aladdin Paperbacks. The book is about 160 pages long and the setting of the most of the book is in a small town in Europe‚ (for the beginning of the book) then they later go to Sienna‚ Italy. It’s rare for a book to present the true chaos of a big family (or maybe I just haven’t read enough books).
