I absolutely loved the concept of this book! The seamless blend of history and time-travel fantasy made for an enchanting read. I especially enjoyed the small but meaningful insights into the Jewish religion, which added depth to the story for me.
Esther Luna’s determination to solve the mystery of the Rosenfeld family, paired with the adorably shy yet resourceful Rabbi Meir Poppers, was a delight to follow. Their dynamic added heart and humour to the narrative as they worked to uncover what happened over 100 years ago.
The story masterfully jumps between 2017 and various moments in time from 1917 onwards, without adding confusion. Mickey Dubrow’s storytelling is rich and captivating- I was thoroughly engrossed from start to finish!
Highly recommended for those who enjoy historical fiction with magic and mystery!
