In publishing-speak, here's what we at the LQ office sometimes describe as the Queer lovechild of Sholem Aleichem and Philip Roth: Uriel the angel and Little Ash (short for Ashmedai) are the only two supernatural creatures in their shtetl (which is so tiny, it doesn't have a name other than Shtetl). The angel and the demon have been studying together for centuries, but pogroms and the search for a new life have drawn all the young people from their village to America. When one of those young emigrants goes missing, Uriel and Little Ash set off to find her.

Along the way, the angel and demon encounter humans in need of their help, including Rose Cohen, whose best friend (and the love of her life) has abandoned her to marry a man, and Malke Shulman, whose father died mysteriously on his way to America. But there are obstacles ahead of them as difficult as what they've left behind. Medical exams (and demons) at Ellis Island. Corrupt officials, cruel mob bosses, murderers, poverty. The streets are far from paved with gold.

With cinematic sweep and tender observation, Sacha Lamb presents a totally original drama about individual purpose, the fluid nature of identity, and the power of love to change and endure.

This is a beautifully written, gripping story with relatable and likable characters. Wonderfully queer and wonderfully Jewish.

A true gem

This was a sweet story about friendship, love, immigration and social justice. While I found the middle part dragged and the writing was more tell than show, I did really like the characters. The narration was good too. I'd recommend to fans of Good Omens.

A wholesome story about friendship

This was a great Jewish urban fantasy / coming of age story that explores queer identities, folklore and radical politics, I’ve been recommending it to all of my friends as I’ve listened to it and I’ll probably listen to it again soon :D

Wonderfully funny and beautiful
