Evil Angels is a 1981 novel by the French writer Pascal Bruckner. The French title is Lunes de fiel, which literally means "moons of bile", a pun on "lune de miel", "honeymoon".

The acclaimed and highly acclaimed French philosopher and writer Pascal Bruckner rose to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s with his writing. Today he is seen as a timely and pioneering voice against the “political correctness” of “woke” culture.

Despite their height disparity, and the disapproval of her family, the couple’s mutual love and attraction sees them married and then settled in Central Paris. Although there are a number of niggling matters; such
