*Starred Review* Sobczak's Choice of Angels is the relentless story of the love between Daniel Harris, son of an upper-middle-class southern Baptist minister, and Ayse Yalcin, daughter of a Turkish (and Muslim) businessman. Ayse is a privileged daughter because she's being allowed to attend college in Atlanta. She vows she'll never date an American, but she and Daniel fall in love despite themselves. When their families exhibit almost violent disapproval, they elope. Ayse's family begins a slow rapprochement with Daniel, but Daniel's father disowns him, and the young marriage is nearly scuttled. Each of Sobczak's characters rings true, and his every setting, whether a Turkish mosque or an Atlanta advertising agency, is compellingly detailed. He's funny, tolerant, and unpreachy. And obviously, he's timely.
