In The Golem and the Jinni, a chance meeting between mythical beings takes readers on the dazzling trip through cultures in turn-of-the-century NY.

Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life to with a disgraced rabbi who have dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic and dies in sea over the voyage from Poland. Chava is definitely unmoored and adrift as the dispatch arrives in NY harbor in 1899.
