Read by David Corren.
I had never heard of this author but I am definitely interested in reading more by them. An adventure in queerness, Judaism, and mythology, the story takes us from Europe to America on wings. Almost literally. I was afraid that it would be a little too GOOD OMENS considering the main characters are an angel and a demon but Lamb has a different coloring to this pair and it's delightful. Their manner of weaving in the rules of the magical world while staying firmly rooted in this one kept me eager to see what would happen next. I see there are other books by this author and I'm curious to try those as well.

Quotes:
- "There was a hint of the witch about her but wherever there was a patriarch who felt threatened, there was always a hint of the witch about old women."
- "[...] the crowds that could not fit into the little shul at Yom Kippur when even the secular people of the Lower East Side remembered that being Jewish included also religion."
