A review by chamblyman
The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker

4.0

Helene Wecker revisits her characters from the wonderful Golem And The Jinni for another stellar mix of historical fiction and mythological fantasy that stands on its own, and might be even better than the first one! Dickensian plotting full of intrigue, romance, tragedy and triumph swirls around real life events of early 20th C. New York, and Salman-Rushdie-esque magical realism blending Jewish and Arabic folklore. Splendid!
