‘Why is this night different from all other nights?’ runs the ritual question at the Passover feast.

For Rainbow Rosenbloom – taxi-driver, Chinese-food addict, film critic and niece to a pack of formidable aunts- the answer is startling. Because on this night, she meets the executor of vengeance for ancient wrongs, soul-stealing demon of medieval Jewish folklore and disgruntled employee of Mephistco plc, the endearing dybbuk, Kokos. The ambivalent spook has hunted Ms Rosenbloom down through the ages at considerable cost to her departmental budget and personal self-esteem in fulfillment of a 18th-century curse.

As the tale unfolds, both Rainbow and her dybbuk discover that History still holds a few tricks up her sleeve, even in London N16.
