The Golem and the Jinni - Helene Wecker (2013) Harper

A man who loses his business desires to go to America, but with a wife.  When no woman will have him, he purchases the ability of a local Jewish Kabbalist to create a Golem for him. On the way across the ocean, his utters the words to wake her and then dies.  In New York, a Syrian woman takes an old oil flask of her mothers and asks a local tinsmith if he can repair it.  But when the tinsmith removes some of the scroll work, out comes a Jinni in the form of a man, but with an iron band on his wrist.  Thus starts a winding story that brings everyone's lives together with an unexpected and well-deserved twist.
