We’re starting another year of exploring the Jewish world through fiction. Come join us.
Our September selection is: The Hidden Palace: A Novel of the Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
Chava is a golem, a woman made of clay, who can hear the thoughts and longings of those around her and feels compelled by her nature to help them. Ahmad is a jinni, a restless creature of fire, once free to roam the desert but now imprisoned in the shape of a man. In this enthralling historical epic, set in New York City and the Middle East in the years leading to World War I – the long-awaited follow-up to the “The Golem and the Jinni” – Helene Wecker revisits her beloved characters Chava and Ahmad as they confront unexpected new challenges in a rapidly changing human world.
