  „The novel is narrated by an unidentified voice in a future a millennium from now, but  readers  will identify the setting as a version of contemporary New York City. 

  The story told is that of a  period lasting two years, eight months and 28 nights, during  which a    war of the worlds was  waged.  
  This is heralded by a cataclysmic storm that brings with it certain “strangenesses”,  signalling  that  the boundaries between the human and fairy worlds – the latter being  the home of the jinn,  which  are “whimsical, capricious, wanton” creatures  – have  been breached. 
  A Manhattan-dwelling  gardener wakes up one morning to find he’s levitating; the  character of  an aspiring graphic  novelist comes mysteriously to life; and a baby with  the ability to detect  corruption is found  abandoned in City Hall, a “human broom” with  which the mayor can  usefully clean office.”
