The Children's Dream by Roberta Kagan

4.0

I always find books set during WWII and the holocaust interesting even though difficult to read at times. Considering the cover I was expecting this story to take place at Auschwitz or another concentration camp. This book mainly takes place in Poland about 15 years before the Nazi takeover. It does a little jumping back and forth between times in Naomi's life, which got a little confusing at some points. It also jumps perspectives to different characters, I really liked the aspect. It's mostly a love story at this point and an introduction to the family along with their way of life in their small Jewish town. I really liked the dream premonitions aspect I just wish they had taken them more seriously. I'm assuming since this is the first in the series the next book will be more centered around the twins. It is well written and kept me interested throughout. I look forward to continuing with the series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
