We are so excited to share this week's episode of The Library Love Fest Podcast, featuring an interview between LLF's Chris Connolly and Helene Wecker, acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of The Golem and the Jinni and the upcoming sequel The Hidden Palace, on sale June 8th.
The Golem and the Jinni quickly became a librarian-favorite upon its publication in 2013, with its unique and immersive literary blend of fantasy and historical fiction. The excitement surrounding The Hidden Palace is surely rewarded with an ambitious, deeply satisfying story that welcomes readers back into the lives of beloved characters Chava, a golem, and Ahmad, a jinni, as they navigate their intertwining lives in early-20th century New York City.
Listen to the interview with Helene below to learn much more about this one-of-a-kind literary experience!
We are also excited to share an early STARRED review for The Hidden Palace from Kirkus Reviews:
"A blend of romance, Mary Shelley-esque horror, and folklore.... Wecker skillfully combines the storylines of Chava the Golem and Ahmad the Jinni and numerous other players, good and evil, in an enchanting tale that pleases on every page."
The Hidden Palace publishes on June 8th, 2021. LibraryReads votes are due May 1st!
