The Summer Before the War
by Helen Simonson
If you liked the Downton Abbey series on Masterpiece, you will probably like this book. If you are willing to overlook predictability for the sake of a satisfying read, you will probably like this book. There's nothing new here, but the author presents the characters with life and energy and humor. The editing could have been a bit tighter. No author should use the words "maudlin" and "hubris" multiple times in one book. Overall, a very pleasant read.
