moviebuffkt 's review for:

The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson

1.0

---

DNF - a "slice of life" book. After 9/13 discs when I couldn't see the story going anywhere, I decided to throw in the towel. The narrator is not my favorite (also narrated The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend). The book just dragged along. Set up a good narrative of the struggles of women to gain independence in Britain, and what pre-war life is like in the small town of Rye, but all in all, it was just boring.
