This was more a romance than historical fiction novel. I don’t like romance.
How many times and in how many different ways can you say the same thing? Herschel and Naomi’s marriage is terrible, Naomi and Eli are in love.
What about the dreams / premonitions? They were only mentioned a couple of times.
The first chapter was the best, and it was all downhill from there.
Not sure why this is the first in a trilogy. It could have been written in one if it wasn’t so repetitive.
