He, She And It by Marge Piercy
5.0
Toward the end of the novel, I found myself thinking about how strange it was that a couple of the male characters were woefully under-developed, and then it hit me: the story revolved almost entirely around women. And it was WONDERFUL.
I'd never heard the story of the golem of Prague, and as a woman raised culturally Jewish (personally non-religious), it was a delightful lesson in folklore.
Certainly the story was imperfect, and at points I felt like the text could have been more closely edited, but all in all, this was one of the most engrossing stories I've read this year. Highly recommended.
