I have chosen this week’s Book of the Week from our War & Peace display in the library. The Foreshadowing is one of my favourite novels set in World War One, about a girl who has premonitions at the worst possible time to be able to see the future.

It is 1915. Seventeen-year-old Sasha Fox lives a privileged life, but her brothers, Edgar and Tom, cannot avoid the war, and Sasha has a terrible gift. She can see the future, and worst of all what will happen to Edgar and Tom.

Like the prophetess Cassandra, who witnessed a different war on the plains of Troy, Sasha is trapped by her tragic power – for who wants to see the end of their own story…?
