But when they both start dreaming about German soldiers coming to their town and hauling them away, they become very concerned. However nothing happens and life continues on as normal for a long time, and they almost forget about the dreams they had. Until the bombing of Warsaw



This was my first ARC and I was so excited for it. The premise was amazing and the plot itself was very interesting.

But I found the writing to quite juvenile. It lacked flow and was redundant and over explanatory. Kagan has a lot of potential but I feel missed the mark on this one.

An orthodox Jewish family living in Poland before WW2. A mother raising her 3 daughters while facing that she´ll never have a good relationship with the man she had to marry. A gift or curse of prophetic dreams that is in her blood. And horrible nightmares about soldiers and nazi flaggs hunting her and one of her daughters.
An amazing tale of surviving the day-to-day while trying to analyze dreams. The desperation of finding someone who would listen, or beg for it to be just nightmares. A combination of longing for happiness and facing the hard truths.
Yet if I'm being honest the thought of who is stronger in my mind right now is that I desperately need more of this story ...
