Just a delight. Just lovely. I don’t have words. Soft, but with a tense plot. Deeply sweet and emotional, with antagonists who I want to punch. Intimately Jewish. Those of you who read shtetl angels on tumblr may recognize some things.
Otherwise: Little Ash and Uriel are incredibly cute but as might be expected, I related most deeply to Rose. Sigh.
