Publisher's Summary

Guardian Angel is that rare memoir that grabs you by the shoulders with an urgency that screams, “Pay attention!” 

It leaps to life with an immediacy and relevance that few books achieve.  

Beginning with her solitary childhood in London, it took years for Melanie Phillips to understand her parents’ emotional frailties and even longer to escape from them. But Phillips inherited her family’s strong Jewish values and a passionate commitment to freedom from oppression.

Through her poignant story of transformation and separation, we gain insight into the political uproar that has engulfed the West. Britain’s vote to leave the EU, the rise of far-Right political parties in Europe, and the stunning election of Donald Trump all involve a revolt against the elites by millions.

Guardian Angel is not only an affecting personal story, but it provides a vital explanation why the West is at a critical crossroads today.

Critic Reviews

“Melanie Phillips has been one of the brave and necessary voices of our time, unafraid to speak the language of moral responsibility in an age of obfuscation and denial." (Jonathan Sack)
