This book will make you think about the love connections in your life, and ones you've observed in other people's lives. Wouldn't it be nice to see a flash of light connecting two people that tells you those people were meant to be together? It would have saved me a lot of heartache over the years! :)
I LOVED this story, the hope and determination laced through Sara's story, and Abby's. Sara's begins from the time she's ten and witnesses that first flash of light to make her first match, and ends at her death in 1994.
Abby's story is cemented in 1994 after her beloved grandma, Sara, dies and leaves Abby her old matchmaking journals. I won't get into the details of the story, but it is so good that every time the chapters changed from Sara's POV to Abby's, and visa-versa, I didn't want it to change. Both stories are captivating and enchanting.
I listened to the audiobook of this and the narrator did a fantastic job with this heartfelt, heartwarming story of hope and trusting your heart.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for proving me a copy of this must read!

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me a copy of this page-turner historical fiction novel! Ruth and Millie are sisters with parents who are strict and a mother who has high expectations for responsible Ruth, the older sister, and unrealistic dreams for beautiful Millie, the younger sister, which only creates a gulf between the sisters that expands almost beyond repair when their parents are unexpectedly wiped from their lives.

This story digs deeper than just their relationship. I loved the wartime threads that were the intricate part of the story, including things like the Springfield Armory and its importance during the war-something I'd never heard about before.

There were many interesting characters in this story filled with strong women, heart, suspense, mistrust, and family all during the horrors of war. I highly recommend this book!

In The Matchmaker’s Gift by Lynda Cohen Loigman, I have to suspend disbelief on the ability of an individual to see matches. Perhaps it is more engaging to believe in the idea of soulmates and the idea that soulmates can be clearly identified. Both timelines are interesting, but Sara's story with its history, its picture of a time and place, and the determination of a young woman to claim her talent is the one I will remember.

A charming dual timeline story that blends the old‑world tradition of Jewish matchmaking with a touch of magical realism.
