verityw 's review for:

The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson

****Copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review*****

This got forgotten about in my kindle and then I came back across it and thought I really ought to read it. But I think I'm burned out on WW1 and immediately-pre-WW1 stories at the moment and I just couldn't get into this. Hey ho - I'm sure it's excellent, but it's just not for me at this point in time.
