"Loigman's latest is a gem. A scrappy Jewish teenager newly arrived in 1920s New York struggles to follow her calling as a matchmakerââseventy years later, her cynical divorce-attorney granddaughter realizes she has very inconveniently inherited the family gift for matching soulmates. Both funny and moving, The Matchmaker's Gift made me smile from start to finish."
ââKate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code\
Is finding true love a calling or a curse?\
Even as a child in 1910, Sara Glikman knows her gift: she is a maker of matches and a seeker of soulmates. But among the pushcart-crowded streets of New Yorkâs Lower East Side, Saraâs vocation is dominated by devout older menâmen who see a talented female matchmaker as a dangerous threat to their traditions and livelihood. After making matches in secret for more than a decade, Sara must fight to take her rightful place among her peers, and to demand the recognition she deserves.\
Two generations later, Saraâs granddaughter, Abby, is a successful Manhattan divorce attorney, representing the cityâs wealthiest clients. When her beloved Grandma Sara dies, Abby inherits her collection of handwritten journals recording the details of Saraâs matches. But among the faded volumes, Abby finds more questions than answers. Why did Abbyâs grandmother leave this library to her and what did she hope Abby would discover within its pages? Why does the work Abby once found so compelling suddenly feel inconsequential and flawed? Is Abby willing to sacrifice the career sheâs worked so hard for in order to keep her grandmotherâs mysterious promise to a stranger? And is there really such a thing as love at first sight?
