The Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner

5.0

The Sisters of the Winter Wood thrums with magic and history. Two teenage sisters must face a lot of diversity when their parents have to leave town. Strange men arrive and free-spirited Laya is drawn to them. Liba is the more grounded of the two sisters, and she will do anything to keep Laya safe from these men. The sisters struggle with battles within themselves, and to top it all, the story is told during a hostile time for Jewish people. Rena Rossner does a beautiful job telling the two teens’ point of views. Liba’s perspective is strong prose while Laya’s is a flowing poem. I loved every bit of this book! I would recommend it to anyone who loves fairytales. Also, if you enjoy historical novels, you may also enjoy this!
