The Sisters of the Winter Wood

Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A lushly atmospheric Jewish folklore retelling that celebrates sisterhood and cultural heritage while weaving together bear and swan maiden mythology with Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market. Perfect for readers seeking diverse fairy tale retellings with emphasis on family bonds over romance.
