In The Golem and the Jinni, a chance meeting between mythical beings takes readers on a dazzling journey through cultures in turn-of-the-century New York. Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life to by a disgraced rabbi who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic and dies at sea on the voyage from Poland. Chava is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York harbor in 1899. Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire born in the ancient Syrian desert, trapped in an old copper flask, and released in New York City, though still not entirely free Ahmad and Chava become unlikely friends and soul mates with a mystical connection. Marvelous and compulsively readable, Helene Wecker's debut novel The Golem and the Jinni weaves strands of Yiddish and Middle Eastern literature, historical fiction and magical fable, into a wondrously inventive and unforgettable tale.

很喜欢作者娓娓道来的细腻手法，人物描写的功力相当深厚，以1899年的纽约为背景，讲述了Golem & Jinni这两种超自然生物的喜怒哀乐，和无奈于融入人类世界的经历。之所以给了四颗星，是因为对于我来说，故事发展较为缓慢，有时候给人boring的感觉。 Beautiful and charming fairytale about two unique creatures who struggled but still wish for and fought for happy life. People with different destiny affected each other then jointed the pieces together.

评分Beautifully written, exotic, moving and attractive I wonder if the Golem and Jinni are still hidden somewhere in the depth of the city, counting their everlasting time and watching their loved ones come and go yet return in the next life.
