The Matchmaker's Gift by Lynda Cohen Loigman
5.0
Every so often a novel comes along that touches your soul - moves you to tears, laughter, smiles and leaves you never wanting the story to end. Friends - The Matchmaker’s Gift by Lynda Cohen Loigman is just that story. Lynda’s use of Yiddish, thrown in throughout the book, took me back to my grandmother’s table and brought back beautiful memories.
This book is so much more than a 5 star read and will undoubtedly be in my top 5 of 2023.
The dual timeline story of Sara and her granddaughter Abby is written so seamlessly and flows between Sara’s arrival in the United States in the early 1900’s and Abby’s present day (1994). I don’t want to give any of the story away - so I’ll tell you just to go, run, drive, shop online, do whatever you need to in order to get this book in your hands.
This book is a true treasure. I’m so glad I saved it to read over the Jewish New Year. It was just what I needed.
Thank you to NetGalley, Lynda Cohen Loigman, and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC. All opinions are my own.
