Description

Life in The Village is rarely quiet or uneventful, but after The Village Twins are born, everything gets even crazier.

Abraham and Adam Schlemiel are trouble from day one. The twins are so identical that their parents, teachers and eventually their wives can’t tell them apart.

Adam loves to create elaborate pranks. Abraham usually takes the blame. As teens, they both love Rosa, a wandering princess. But the Russian army is looking for Adam, who falls for Rivka Cantor, but she thinks he’s Abraham.… Confused? Imagine how they felt.

Every chapter will take you deeper into the Black Forest. You’ll laugh and smile, and perhaps shed a tear.

The Village Twins is a wonderful novel set in a past that never existed and a place you’ll love to visit

A delicious and exciting novel of confused identities told in bite-sized chapters. You won’t want to put it down, but if you do, you will come back to it again and again…

Life in The Village is rarely quiet or uneventful, but after The Village Twins are born, everything gets even crazier.
