What an incredible debut novel! It is the story of two mythical creatures trying to make a life for themselves in turn of the century New York. Both the golem and the jinni find kind immigrants that take pity on them and try to help as much as they can, before both of them are inevitably discovered for what they truly are. 
 Aside from a terrific story, the author did a wonderful job of creating a memorable cast of characters. The pacing, suspense and ending were spot on. I cannot wait to read what Wecker writes next!
