About this listen

 It is 1915. 17-year-old Sasha Fox is the privileged only daughter of a respected doctor living in Brighton. But her brothers, Edgar and Tom, have gone to war and Sasha has a terrible gift. She can see the future.

Her premonitions show her untold horrors on the battlefields of the Somme. Corpse worms crawling over the faces of soldiers soon to die, and worse still, what will happen to Edgar and Tom.

Like the prophetess Cassandra, Sasha is trapped by power. No one will believe her. She feels stifled by her over-protective mother and restrictive father. Her family have lost faith in her. She is determined to win them back, whatever the price. And it is a high one - for who wants to see the end of their own story? But Alexandra is a heroine resourceful enough to try to change the path of Fate.

An engaging short story which held my interest - short enough to listen to in a day. The heroine lives a remarkably charmed life - too much so, perhaps. Much of my enjoyment came from the quality of the narration. I greatly enjoyed the subtlety of the changes in emotion. Such a skill is necessary for a book like this.

After listening to nearly 2 hours of this, I found myself contemplating where the story was going. I usually like books written by Marcus Sedgwick but found it very difficult to like this one. It reads more like diary entries than a proper story. All to vague and directionless in my opinion.

Not sure where this book was heading?
