‘One of only two novels I've ever loved whose main characters are not human’ BARBARA KINGSOLVER For fans of The Essex Serpent and The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock.
‘By far my favourite book of of the year’ Guardian
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.

Brilliant book! Some may find parts slow, but the brilliantly written dialogue is spellbinding!

Okay, but not as good as I had hoped. A little too drawn out.

Jeg blev med det samme suget helt ind i bogens magiske verden - og nu hvor jeg er færdig lever fortællingen videre i mig - min indre verden er blevet et helt fantastisk univers. ❤️
