Be My Wolff by Emma Richler
The press release for Be My Wolff by Emma Richler ($34) is confusing”but compelling. Zachariah and Rachel are brother and sister (through adoption), but also star-crossed lovers (which makes it so perfect that this book lands February 14). As a way to cope with their family’s displeasure, Rachel sets out to create an ancestry for Zachariah by inventing a family history. The novel moves between their past as children growing up as a Russian family living in London, to their current lives, living together estranged from their father, to the imagined ancestry that Rachel brings to life. We’re promised art, history, folklore, fairy tails, battles and an unforgettable love story.
