rachelhill04 's review for:

The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson
5.0

I loved Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, so I was excited to read this book. I love Helen Simonson's writing. i found myself re-reading certain lines and it took me a little longer to get through the book because I wanted to savor the words a little more. It's a bit wordy in some parts, but because the writing was beautiful I didn't mind that. I will be adding this book to my permanent collection.
