bak8382 's review for:
The Summer Before the War
by Helen Simonson
I loved Simonson's previous book [b:Major Pettigrew's Last Stand|6643090|Major Pettigrew's Last Stand|Helen Simonson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320539020s/6643090.jpg|6837577] so I was excited to see that she'd written another book. This book is definitely quieter and much longer. I thought several times of giving up and moving on to something else, but every time I picked it up I got lost in the story, its characters, and its sly humor. The last third of the book definitely picks up speed. I'm glad I finished it.
