On the edge of the Black Forest in a small village...

Rachel Cohen is brilliant and wise. Her twin brother, Yakov? Not so much.

When the Cohen family begins to crack –and their village teeters on the brink – it is up to Rachel and the secretive Council of Wise Women to step in. How much meddling is too much?

THE COUNCIL OF WISE WOMEN is a spellbinding multigenerational story of family and friends, of love, loss, independence, reconciliation, and the power of women.

Whether or not you’re Jewish, you’ll enjoy this novel. It’s like rye bread, chicken soup, or hot apple pie – tasty and delicious, possibly nutritious but certainly warm and satisfying.

With his trademark sense of humor, Izzy Abrahmson spins a delightful tale of The Village Life that will make you smile, and maybe shed a tear.

You won’t want this book to end.
