From Booklist
*Starred Review* Gr. 8-11. "I have seen the future again, and it is death. I can no longer pretend it is my imagination." As a young child, Alexandra (Sasha) saw that her friend would die. Now, at 17, her premonitions, always of death, have returned. It is 1915, and as World War I rages on, Sasha yearns to do something useful, like her father, a respected doctor in Brighton, England. Then her abstract terrors of war become immediate: one brother is killed; the other joins the army and disappears to France. In nightmares, Sasha sees his murder. Desperate to save him, she joins a volunteer nursing corps, hoping to find him on the battlefields. A few plot elements, such as Sasha's bond with a similarly clairvoyant soldier, feel contrived. But readers will be haunted by the unusually powerful, visceral view of war's horrors--the ruined landscapes of mud and wire, the gore and stench of mutilated bodies--in which the real and the supernatural are inextricably linked. In Sasha's compelling, urgent narrative, Sedgwick skillfully connects young peoples' struggles for power and self-determination with the deepest questions about fate, free will, and the meaning of patriotism. For more fiction about World War I, suggest the titles included in the Read-alikes "The War to End All Wars," in Booklist's November 1, 2001, issue. Gillian Engberg
