The Golem and the Jinni is such a beautiful novel!! It is more historical fiction than fantasy, because the setting is New York City in 1899. I loved the emphasis on culture in the novel. Through the detailed writing style, I was immersed into the characters' ways of life. The main characters, Chava (the Golem) and Ahmad (the Jinni), are so realistic! They are both tremendously different from each other but go through similar challenges to assimilate into their new environments. I especially liked how the different threads and characters within the story came together to form one clear picture in the end. I highly recommend it!
