‘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.

Om du gillar American Gods av Neil Gaiman så är den här helt rätt för dig. Fantastiskt välskriven och indragande.

Obeskrivligt fängslande och full av glädje och sorg och gemenskap, allt som gör oss till människor, sett från en närvarande men observerande narration. Helt perfekt med en så lugn och fridfull berättarröst, dessutom. Den verkar lång, men den är värd varje minut, rekommenderas!

A wonderful saga of human psyche set in a western - Middle East cultural intertwined sequence of events. A wonderful saga. Best narration I have ever enjoyed in any language.

En riktigt oväntat bra bok, jag gillar tempot, och den har många kvaliteter som gör den intressantare än många andra böcker. Jag tänkte ofta på vilket enormt undersökande underliggande arbete som måste ha legat till grund innan författaren ens började skriva!

Fantastisk bok! En okänd pärla! Uppläsaren lika fantastisk, precis som han var i Gaimans "American Gods".
