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…

Charley M, Reviewer
The Village Twins by Izzy Abrahmson. I LOVED this book. The story follows twin boys growing up in a small village that’s full of ridiculous locals and their lives and it follows them growing up and all the adventures they get into. I adored all of the characters in it and really cared about what happened to them. The writing is beautiful, funny and it’s flows easily so the chapters fly by. The events the twins find themselves in are hilarious but also press home things like the kindness of strangers and standing on your own two feet. The boys falling in love and how that changes the love they have for each other is done so well and I really do recommend this book. Apparently it’s the first of a series about the village they live in and I will be reading the rest. *given to me in exchange for an honest review*
