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.
Two
generations later, Sara’s granddaughter, Abby, is a
successful Manhattan divorce attorney, representing the
city’s wealthiest clients. When her beloved Grandma
Sara dies, Abby inherits her collection of handwritten
journals recording the details of Sara’s matches. But
among the faded volumes, Abby finds more questions than
answers. Why did Abby’s 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 she’s worked so hard for in order
to keep her grandmother’s mysterious promise to a
stranger? And is there really such a thing as love at first
sight?
