The matchmaker's gift / Lynda Cohen Loigman. First Edition. New York : St. Martin's Press, 2022. 306 pages : map ; 24 cm. "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 York's Lower East Side, Sara's vocation is dominated by devout older men-men 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."-- Provided by publisher. 20221020.
