The Sisters of the Winter Wood - Rossner Rena

´LUSCIOUS AND HYPNOTIC... A gripping, powerful story of family, sisterhood. I gulped it down!´ - Madeline Miller, author of SONG OF ACHILLES and CIRCE. ´An incredible achievement - a rich literary fairy tale´ - Robert Dinsdale, author of THE TOYMAKERS. Every family has a secret... and every secret tells a story. In a remote village surrounded by 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 small village, Liba and Laya discover a family secret passed down through generations. Faced with a magical heritage they never knew existed, the sisters realise the old fairy tales are true... and could save them all. Captivating and boldly imaginative, Rena Rossner´s debut invites you to enter a magical world of secrets, family ties and fairy tales weaving through history. Perfect for fans of THE NIGHT CIRCUS, THE BEAR AND THE NIGHTINGALE and UPROOTED.
