The Tempest Tales: A Novel-in-Stories | Walter Mosley

so-so

I really loved the concept of this book, but it left me with too many questions. What was Tempest doing in this "new life"? Why this specific angel? Tempest wasn't a well rounded character. All flaws no redeeming quality. The book was too short for the story he wanted to tell.
