SUMMARY:Jewish Fantasy & Science Fiction Book Group
DESCRIPTION:Our exploration of Jewish&nbsp\;Fantasy&nbsp\;and Science ficti
 on continues with&nbsp\;When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb
 . This debut novel is a Printz Honor Book\, a Sydney Taylor Award winner\,
  and a Stonewall Book Award winner. From Kirkus Reviews:\nAn angel and a d
 emon immigrate to the goldene medina. Little Ash\, a lesser son of the fam
 ed demon king Ashmedai\, studies Talmud all day with his counterpart\, a f
 orgetful angel\, in the synagogue of a tiny Jewish town in the Pale of Set
 tlement. But Little Ash wants to see more than their unnamed shtetl: He co
 nvinces the angel to go to America\, ostensibly to find out what happened 
 to Essie\, the baker’s daughter who hasn’t written since she left Wars
 aw. Steeped in Ashkenazi lore\, custom\, and faith\, this beautifully writ
 ten story deftly tackles questions of identity\, good and evil\, obligatio
 n\, and the many forms love can take. Queerness and gender fluidity thread
  through both the human and supernatural characters\, clearly depicted wit
 hout feeling anachronistic.\nJoin in the conversation using our regular Zo
 om link — and spread the word to any guests\; all are warmly invited to 
 join!
