#ABookYouShouldRead

You should read "The Golem and the Djinni" by Helen Wecker.

You should read it because:

- it's very charming in its depiction of 18th Century New York

- It mixes golems and djinn as concepts into a unified whole with thought and sensitivity being all sorts of lovely to semitic peoples

- the themes of being an outsider and finding community are touching.

You will like it if you read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.
