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." [1]
