In 'When the Angels Left the Old Country,' Sacha Lamb crafts an enchanting queer immigrant tale weaving Jewish folklore with a poignant historical adventure. Uriel, an angel, and Little Ash, a demon, find their shtetl life disrupted as the youth, including their precious study companion, flee to America. Resolute, the mystical pair embark on an odyssey to reunite with the missing emigrant. Their path converges with human souls in turmoil - a heartbroken Rose Cohen and the bereaved Malke Shulman. As they navigate Ellis Island's bureaucratic demons, and face off against villains in a land misconceived as gold-laden, their journey redefines the fabric of love and friendship, mired in the trials of a new world. Each step, weighed with peril and discovery, lays bare the essence of identity, duty, and the indefatigable spirit of love.
