The Wise and the Wicked by Rebecca Podos

5.0

---

First - I loved the characters in this novel. The Wise and the Wicked is a magical realistic novel about a family of Russian women who possess connections to each other and to the folktales of their heritage. Tangible characters and a mysterious family secret that could change the fate of the women in their family make this an unputdownable story.
