For fans of The Essex Serpent and The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock.
One cold night, two newcomers emerge onto the streets of 1899 New York, and it is never the same again.
But these two are more than strangers to this land, they are strangers to this world. From the depths of folkloric history come Chava the golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life by a disgraced rabbi and Ahmad, a djinni, born in the ancient Syrian desert and trapped in an old copper flask released accidentally by a tinsmith in a Lower Manhattan shop.
Two companions who were never meant to be released, and never meant to meet. And when they do, their opposing natures will be sealed by a special bond, but one that is threatened by watching eyes, roaming owners and a misunderstanding world.
A glittering gem of a novel, as spell-binding as it is compelling, The Golem and The Djinni asks us what we`re made of and how we can break free.

Это очень хорошая книга, где оба главных персонажа являются сверхъестественными существами,созданными големом и древним джинном. Оба они прибывают в Нью-Йорк на рубеже 19-20 веков и должны обосноваться в соответствующей диаспоре (то есть, еврейской и сирийской). Эти две культуры описано достаточно точно, по крайней ме...
