So if you've read a few thousand books as I have, the basic flow of this short book is not super original. Lots of fiction out there with embodied angels and demons walking the earth (Aliette de Bodard most prominently). But this is a satisfyingly good read. It goes beyond mere substitution of genders for the romantic interest into some discussion of what it was like to be a lesbian at that time. Kept me hooked to the conclusion.
