The Golem and the Djinni

I'm having trouble starting this review...

A Jinni, a Golem, and a Rabbi walk into a bar...doesn't seem to cut it..

Lyricism, mysticism, and magic are the warp and weft that will weave you through an inner and outer journey of discovery in Helene Wecker's debut novel. Along the way we examine the threads of free will, pride, arrogance, zealotry, mono-maniacal focus,inflexibility, devotion, emotion, and of course love at it's purest and it's most damning.

Remarkably hewn characters complete this literary tapestry and make “The Golem and the Jinni,” a true magical carpet ride!
