“With luscious and hypnotic prose, Rena Rossner tells a gripping, powerful
story of family, sisterhood, and two young women trying to find their way in
the world.” — Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe In a remote village
surrounded by vast forests on the border of Moldova and Ukraine, sisters Liba
and Laya have been raised on the honeyed scent of their Mami’s babka and the
low rumble of their Tati’s prayers. But when a troupe of mysterious men
arrives, Laya falls under their spell — despite their mother’s warning to be
wary of strangers. And this is not the only danger lurking in the woods. As
dark forces close in on their village, Liba and Laya discover a family secret
passed down through generations. Faced with a magical heritage they never knew
existed, the sisters realize the old fairy tales are true. . .and could save
them all. Discover a magical tale of secrets, heritage, and fairy tales
weaving through history that will enchant readers of The Bear and the
Nightingale, Uprooted and The Golem and the Jinni. Praise for The Sisters of
the Winter Wood: “Intricately crafted, gorgeously rendered. . .full of heart,
history, and enchantment.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A richly
detailed story of Jewish identity and sisterhood. . . Ambitious and
surprising.” —Kirkus For more from Rena Rossner, check out The Light of the
