Fairytale of New York
2013’s Nebula nominee1 The Golem and the Jinni is the first volume in Helene Wecker’s Golem and the Jinni series. 1899: America’s New York City is home to legions of immigrants from across the world. These newcomers are of every sort one could imagine, but Chava and Ahmad are perhaps the oddest.
Stefan Kumpfmüller"The Golem's life began in the hold of a steamship."

Tyler Smithjust finished #HeleneWecker #TheHiddenPalace. The sequel to the Golem & the Djinni, and even better!
