The first page is a glimpse into the future and the rest of book builds up to that future. Twin sisters run in the family and the older twin has dreams that show the future. This book is part of a series and it does a wonderful job of setting the stage for future books. It is not a WWII book, but a book about the family in the 17 years leading up to WWII. I was very intrigued with the Jewish customs as I’m not familiar with them. It is a story of love and family obligations and how they do not always point you in the same direction. I can’t wait to read more books in this series.
