The Golem and the Jinni, Bad Breath, Safe Cycling

An immigrant tale that combines elements of Jewish and Arab folk mythology, The Golem and the Jinni tells the story of two supernatural creatures who arrive separately in New York in 1899. Imaginative and meticulously researched, this enchanting debut novel from Helene Wecker is historical fiction. Set primarily in turn-of-the-century Manhattan, it deliberately details the immigrant experience while bringing the city itself to life with such passion that New York of yore seems like a magical land.
