The Golem and the Jinni

It's a languorous tale set in New York in the early 1900's. The golem, distilled from clay to serve as a wife, finds herself untethered when her master dies on the journey to New York from Danzig. Incredibly, dangerously strong, she can hear the thoughts of those around her and finds work in a Jewish bakery.

The jinni is freed from a thousand year slumber in a copper flask but is imprisoned in human form by an enchanted iron band. He can melt metal to fashion beautiful artifacts and bides his time with a tinsmith in Little Syria.

Neither require sleep and find themselves hemmed in by the need to hide their true natures. It is their otherness that exposes one to the other. They and a growing cast of characters come to discover what they are and how they came.
