An interesting story set in WWII era. Mildred is a typist at a facility who is developing plutonium. She also has visions and can often see the future of individuals and more. She is seen as a bit of a kook by her peers. Like Cassandra in mythology, people do not believe her. This historical fiction is based on research about the facility depicted in the book. Mildred has a hard time but the bigger picture is about the inhumanity of war and the social structure of the time. A really interesting book. The narration is good. I’m was not familiar with Sophie Amass but she did a great job depicting Mildred as a wise yet naive young woman. Thanks to Kara for recommending this book.
