Hey Hagi! Hope you're having a nice day!🥰 I have a question: is it true that the air in Poland is too polluted? Some friends traveled a while ago for an exchange program, and they said that it was hard to breathe (I think that it was too much pot but well 🤷‍♀️)

Also, on a more artistic note, knowing that there are a huge ton of churches there, which ones are the prettiest ones that you've visited, and do they have organs? (I'm from a family of musicians, and my dad is a sucker for organs and churches. Sadly, in my country, there are no organs and our churches are not Gothic enough heheh)

Sending lots of hugs and kisses! 😘

Hello my love!!!!! Thank you for your questions.

About air, we have something like "smog" in Poland and it depends on weather and place you are. In Kraków you will have more smog and for longer time than in Gdańsk, next to Baltic sea. So it depends really, I don't think it's hard to breathe but I live here so!!!

about churches, omg, that's a hard one. All churches in Poland (90% are catholic) have organs. In Poland church without organs doesn't exist. I live in Toruń, it's medieval town and you can check out two of them. I will write it in Polish so you can find the right one on Wikipedia and then switch on your language: Kościół Świętych Janów w Toruniu and Kościół św. Jakuba Apostoła w Toruniu.

These are gothic churches which I and my hubby often visit to just look on beautiful paintings and sculptures!

Kisess!!!!!!

Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller

Blurb: American horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where they breed the best Arabian horses in the world. But her plans to bring the priceless stallion Lubor to the US are derailed when the German army storms into her adopted country in 1939. Little does she know this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten her beloved horses at every turn.

Major Bret Conway is at Janów Podlaski under the guise of a news reporter, but his true mission is intelligence gathering for the British. That and keeping Adia safe, which is harder and harder to do as she insists they must evacuate 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces. What follows will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as their faith in God, humankind, and each other.

Drawn from true events of World War II, this epic story of escape, capture, resistance, and love from debut novelist Nicole M. Miller will thunder into your heart like a herd of beautiful horses across a raging river.

Review: Until Our Time Comes is a beautiful look at just how far the Nazi forces affected every aspect of life in the lands they occupied during WWII. There are plenty of novels that explore the human aspect of Nazi occupation, but very few that look at how they impacted things like animals, wildlife, landscape, and other facets of the environment. The way Nazi occupation affect these areas of European life is no less shocking and impactful that the effects they had on humans, but they often fall to the wayside considering just how tragic the aftermath of their treatment of humans was. We focus on the Holocaust because that was a level of destruction humans had never seen before. But it wasn’t the only destruction the Nazis wrought. 

Until Our Time Comes takes a look at one tiny part of what the Nazis did to animals during their occupation of Eastern Europe. And Miller did an incredible job of showing just how heartwrenching these events were. When we think of WWII we don’t often, if at all, think of horses. Hitler’s goals were for an “Aryan Race.” Which most often is associated with humans (hence the Holocaust and the culling of those who did not fit that mold). But those goals extended beyond just people. And while millions of people were trying to flee from the SS, the Nazis were extending their goals to animals as well. 

Janów Podlaski is, and was, a world-renowned horse stable. They are responsible for some of the finest Arabian horses on this earth. The Great War (WWI) greatly impacted their breeding program. And they were still recovering when WWII broke out. There was a desperate effort to keep the horses at Janów Podlaski out of Nazi hands. The stables hand were not able to evacuate all of the horses, but they put their best effort into it. And after the war ended, some of those horses made their way back to the stable. 

Until Our Time Comes tells this story, but Miller does this with a cast of (human) characters that allows readers to explore the human impact of the Nazi invasion as well. Aida is a compassionate, loving, protective, and strong woman who refuses to run when the animals (and people) she cares about are in danger. While she works to save the horses she loves, we see her also loving and caring for Bret and Ewan as well. We see Bret falling for Aida even before the invasion begins and then doing everything she can to keep her safe, even when she won’t leave the horses behind. Aida, Bret, and Ewan become a family in the midst of the hell that was the Nazi invasion but found ways to keep themselves, each other, the people, and the horses they cared about as safe as possible. 

This is not a simple feel-good read. There are points where you will cry, points where you will laugh, and points where you will feel your heart breaking only to feel it mend. The romance makes this book human. It gives you relationships to explore. But this book centers on the horses, Aida’s love for them, and the massive undertaking it was to keep them safe. 

Miller has delivered a fantastic look at how the Nazis impacted animals right alongside the horrors of the Holocaust. For most readers, this will open the door to a whole other side of Hitler's atrocities (we don’t often hear about how animals were treated during the war). This is a masterful story of love: for lovers, for family, and for the animals in our lives. I am blown away by this novel and I cannot wait to see what Miller comes up with next.
