The Foreshadowing | Marcus Sedgwick

1 post | 6 read | 1 to read

It is 1915 and the First World War has only just begun. 17 year old Sasha is a well-to-do, sheltered-English girl. Just as her brother Thomas longs to be a doctor, she wants to nurse, yet girls of her class don't do that kind of work. But as the war begins and the hospitals fill with young soldiers, she gets a chance to help. But working in the hospital confirms what Sasha has suspected--she can see when someone is going to die. Her premonitions show her the brutal horrors on the battlefields of the Somme, and the faces of the soldiers who will die. And one of them is her brother Thomas. Pretending to be a real nurse, Sasha goes behind the front lines searching for Thomas, risking her own life as she races to find him, and somehow prevent his death. From the Hardcover edition.

The Foreshadowing | Marcus Sedgwick

I thought this book was written in a very unique way, with the chapters counting down instead of going up. We know just enough about the characters without going into too many details. I must admit I loved that the main character was a nursing student (I plan to go to nursing school so felt some camaraderie). I loved how the author weaves mythology into the story as well. Good if you‘re looking for an entertaining and quick read.
