two emigrant mythologies meet in turn of the century New York 
 Golem, Jewish women of clay, inquisitive, cautious, concerned for humans in general 
 Djinni, Arabic fire spirit, mischievous, capricious, general disregard and fear for humanity 
 interesting to see developing understanding for both of the new world they find themselves in and their relationship with each other 
 plenty of plot to keep pages turning, good supporting characters
