From Goodreads
Premonitions hints at past lives and common experiences, as it draws subtle connections between people on their personal quests for adventure, love and family. Amelia Rothman, a foreign-rights editor from New York, has a turbulent personal life. Adele Durand, a young French woman, marries the wrong man in 18th century revolutionary France. What do these two women have in common? Is it possible that an apprentice medicine-man in 15th century Africa and an ancient sword hold the answers to a question which transcends time itself?
Premonitions is the second book in the Recognitions series.
My thoughts
Thanks to The Book Club on Facebook (TBC on FB) Reviewer group for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I gave this a 7/10 or 3.5 stars.
This is the second in the Recognitions series that began with Recognitions. In this story we learn more about Amelia and the other characters that we met in Recognitions. I was engaged by Amelia and her turbulent at times personal life and relationship. I get the impression that Amelia is the key to the three strands of this story. It continues on with the stories of the other characters that we met in Recognitions. Spanning three different timelines, this is an interesting concept that you will either love or hate. Multiple timeline books are not for all of us and they take a little concentration, as you have to keep in your head the different strands of the stories and the larger character ensemble that comes with such a story.
This was another short read in the series and personally I feel that the stories would have been better combined into one story rather than separate ones.
This story finished quite abruptly at 90%, I was left thinking there should have been more. I was a little gutted if I am honest and it has left me wanting more.
