The Golem and the Jinni, written by Helene Wecker, is a captivating gaslamp fantasy novel set in late 19th-century New York City. The story revolves around Chava, a golem brought to life by a disgraced rabbi, and Ahmad, a jinni released from an ancient copper flask. As these two mythical beings navigate the immigrant communities of New York, they form an unlikely friendship and face challenges that test their very nature. Wecker's lyrical prose and richly drawn characters make this book a true gem of the genre.
