THE BOOK FAIR

A beautifully written fairy tale of interconnecting stories which portray love and loss for both immigrants and Americans who reside in New York City at the turn of the 20th century.  The author paints colorful, descriptive scenes of the Jinni’s desert home as well as pictorial views of the crowded, bustling streets of NYC alongside the quiet of Central Park.

The novel winds around the engrossing plot between the Golem and the Jinni, their differences in moral character, and their ultimate dreams and desires.  Additional, engaging characters enhance the storyline with tales, secrets and plans of their own.   Philosophies of free will and personal responsibility run throughout the novel and though lengthy, the dramatic story filled with remarkably vivid characters, holds interest and moves quickly.
