It is a story that features the trend of loneliness for not only the titular characters but other side characters as well. It contrasts several Old Worlds as it is a story about assimilation, where the Golem and the Jinni try to survive in this challenging and different world and are forced to hide their real nature. Helene has managed to accurately depict the immigrant experience and class division as the book lends itself to such an allegory. Helen’s writing in this novel has intertwined Yiddish and Middle Eastern culture into a world of magic in this unforgettably inventive story. As fate had it stored for them, Ahmad and Chava become the unlikeliest of friends through a magical connection. Ahmad is released in New York though is still not entirely free. Ahmad is a jinni born in the ancient Syrian Desert, trapped in an ancient copper flask. Chava is created to be the wife of a man who dies at sea on a certain voyage.
He has been brought to life by a disgraced rabbi who messes with dark Kabbalistic magic.
It follows Chava a golem who is a creature made of clay.
