"Thoroughly enjoyable novel, both moving and astutely farcical." – Kirkus Reviews A secret society, magical soup, and a young girl, wise beyond her years When Rachel Cohen is born, her parents' marriage begins to crack. As she grows, and her village teeters on the brink, it is up to her and The Council of Wise Women to cook up a plan and step in. Family breakdowns, a village on the edge of famine, and the challenges of a beloved community… How much meddling is too much? With a warm sense of humor, Izzy Abrahmson spins a delightful tale of The Village Life that will make you smile, and maybe shed a tear. "…[a] playful touch throughout, painting characters who leap off the page. Chelm's wise women are delightful and perceptive, their conversations a joy to read… a beautiful testament to tradition and values." – Publishers Weekly "…a warm and cozy read that can also make you laugh out loud and brighten your mood… the humor is universal and can be enjoyed by readers from all cultures." – Reedsy Discovery A spellbinding novel of love, loss, independence, reconciliation, and the power of women. You won't want this book to end. More Reviews of Izzy Abrahmson's previous work "Abrahmson's prose savvily mixes the homey and the surreal… he's a master…" – Publishers Weekly "In the spirit of Sholem Aleichem…" – AudioFile Magazine "…a world of friendly humor." – Kirkus Reviews THE COUNCIL OF WISE WOMEN is a stand-alone novel in the award-winning Village Life Series. These books can be read in any order. They overlap and interconnect. Whichever one you start with, that's your first. It won't be your last. Imagine a delicious blend of Yentl, Fiddler on the Roof, andThe Heaven and Earth Grocery Store with a splash of Sydney Taylor's All-of-a-Kind Family, and a dollop of The Simpsons.
