The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson

4.0

I liked this book so much better than "Major Pettigrews last stand". Although the title misleading as the best part of the story happens after the war has started. The middle of the plot dragged on for me but the resolution was satisfying. The start of the epilogue was one of the best examples of poetic fiction I've ever read.
