This time the soul of America really is at stake. Sure, for many years we’ve heard this language dramatically and cynically utilized during political campaigns, but this time it’s actually true. American exceptionalism faces more systemic threats and existential peril than ever before. A culture that can’t agree on what a border, citizen, criminal, law, constitution, life, or even the truth is probably doesn’t have long to last. But as Jesus warned in Matthew 9:37, “The harvest is plenty but the workers are few.”

I wish I could have listened to all of it
Revisado: 01-23-22
My husband and I love Steve, his show and Aaron and Todd. We stop our activities and watch almost every day. But in reading this book, Aaron needs to pause when there is a period at the end of a sentence. I had to finally stop listening at about half way through the book because I couldn’t deal with the reading without a breath or pause, especially when reading the list of the 36 whatever it was. It’s not a race. Nor a montage that has to fit into 60 seconds. I’m sad to feel so critical, but seriously, I couldn’t follow fast enough. I’ll just buy it and read it at my pace.

Helene Wecker's dazzling debut novel tells the story of two supernatural creatures who appear mysteriously in 1899 New York. Chava is a golem, a creature made of clay, brought to life by a strange man who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic. When her master dies at sea on the voyage from Poland, she is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York Harbor. Ahmad is a jinni, a being of fire, born in the ancient Syrian Desert. Trapped in an old copper flask by a Bedouin wizard centuries ago, he is released accidentally by a tinsmith in a Lower Manhattan shop.

Very well-woven tale!

Each character is carefully constructed and developed so that the reader moves from one point of view to another, and the lives of the characters touch each other over a great time and a great distance. I actually learned what a golem is (according to the Jewish traditions of mysticism) and connected that knowledge with some other literature, such as the Miss Peregrine stories and of course the Gollum of JRR Tolkien. The only down side of the story is that it drags a bit occasionally. I guess it takes a while to develop this many characters! Overall, I enjoyed it very much and would read another book by this author when she writes one!
