The Golem and the Genie

It is difficult to be a stranger among people, even more difficult to be a stranger. How to settle in a strange country, how to overcome misunderstanding, loneliness and fear, how to find your way, to start a new life...? In 1899, two mythical creatures find themselves in New York City. Golem, created from clay in a female form, is called to faithfully serve his master, but loses him on the way to America, and the sudden freedom turns into a torment. The genie, after a thousand years of confinement, is accidentally set free by a tinsmith from New York's Little Syria neighborhood. The powerful desert spirit, who has completely forgotten the past that preceded his captivity, is powerless in a human body and dreams of breaking free from these shackles. The revived characters of ancient legends are very lonely, but one night in the middle of a deserted city their paths will cross... "The Golem and the Djinn" is a "metaphorical autobiography" - by the author's admission, the novel is based on her personal story and she was inspired by the similarities between two families from different cultural traditions. In 2014, the book was awarded the Mythopoetic Prize for Best Novel.
