Eagles and Angels

Eagles and Angels (German: Adler und Engel) is a 2001 novel by the German writer Juli Zeh.

Josh Lacey wrote in The Guardian: "Zeh's style is always enjoyable.

She writes brittle little sentences, trying to shock and often succeeding.

Her characters are vivacious and thrilling; she tussles with big themes, and is fuelled by an admirable fury.

But the novel doesn't quite work - the plot has many inconsistencies, the characters aren't entirely credible, the narrative voice strives too hard for effect.
