The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson

5.0

---

A beautifully written and evocative novel set in the small English town of Rye in the summer of 1914. Helen Simonson deftly captures the atmosphere of a time of great change and uncertainty as the world prepares for the outbreak of World War I.
