The tying up of the aftermath of WWII horrors for Michal's scattered family and friends created a satisfactory read for me. However, I felt somewhat disappointed with this fourth book in the Michal's Destiny series. I believe it's because there was a fair amount of rehashing of the terrors, trauma and situations that occured in the first three books in order to make this a stand alone novel, in and of itself. Somehow I expected more after the suspense of the ending of the third book. Therefore, I rate this book with only 4 Stars.

This is the conclusion of the Michal’s Destiny series. The war in Europe has ended but things are not as good as one would think. Lack of food and supplies, safety for women is still very bad. This book ties up the stories of many of the characters and shows the process of trying to find people who are lost. This was a fascinating series that shows how people tried to adjust to their circumstances during this horrific war.

This series completely captivated me and it was such a different look into historical ww2 fiction (at least for me) I loved how it focused on the struggles that the women had to go through and goes a long way to explaining how this generation of women changed the way women generally had to deal with issues etc by becoming more and more supportive.
There were lots of elements of PTSD in here both from the male and female perspective.
This is not a book that I would recommend that you start on book 4 it really has to be read in order

This was a strong fourth book in the Michal's Destiny series. The concept worked well overall and had that element that I was looking for in the historical element perfectly. Roberta Kagan has a strong writing style and the characters were written in a strong way and worked in this universe. I can't wait to read more in this universe and from Roberta Kagan.

Another Breath Another Sunshine by Roberta Kagan is the fourth and final book in the series and once again Kagan has written an exceptional book. Another Breath Another Sunshine by Roberta Kagan is the final book in the series and I found This book is engaging and focuses on Jewish history The book is professionally written, and the characters are well developed and continue to grow and change. The story is told with real heart and honesty and is a beautiful and moving story about survival and kinship I do not want to spoil the story by going into too much detail, but this is an excellent series which I highly recommend. Robert Kagan sets the historical period beautifully and the book is a well-researched piece of history. Thanks to NetGalley and to the publishers of this book for giving me a free advance copy of the book to preview and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

World War Two has ended, but the fight to survive sn't over. Another Breath, Another Sunrise takes the reader on a journey of new beginnings.

Experience life in Berlin through Lotti's eyes. Learn of the struggles of those that remained. Lotti's struggles are heartbreaking. She maybe back at work, but her life isn't any better. I have to admire her determination to stay just incase someone comes looking.

Lotti is hoping to hear from Alina or Gilde. The last she knew, they were alive. Gilde was taken to safety in England on a kinder transport. But that was before England and Germany were at war. The last time she heard from Alina was when she and Jonah, Lottie's brother, were fleeing Berlin.

Grab this book and discover what life was like for them after the war. Survival isn't living. New beginnings are a possiblity but it won't be easy.

I didn’t realise until I started reading this book that it was book 4/4, which meant I didn’t really know the characters or their history. I enjoyed learning about life after the war especially in Berlin with the Russians soldiers coming. However I struggled to connect with the characters and found parts of the story boring. If you’ve read the whole series then you may think differently.
Thank you Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book, all opinions expressed are my own.

Another Breath, Another Sunrise is an extremely interesting book dealing with survivors’ guilt, searches for lost and missing relatives and friends, struggles to get food and water after the war, atrocities committed by conquering soldiers, etc. Most of all, it is the story of the depths of the human spirit in the quest for survival and overcoming hardships of all forms. The book is easy reading and I thank NetGalley and Roberta Kagan for the opportunity to to read and review this book prior to publication.

This is the 4th and final book in this series and I really like it .it has a lovely ending which befits the characters .
I must stress that it could be read as a standalone book as the beginning of the book does a recap of the previous books .
Keep writing Roberta Kagan .

A sweet and romantic ending to Alina, Gilde, and Lotte’s stories and to Michal’s family’s destiny. I wish there was more and that the story never ended.
