staggandie 's review for:

The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson
2.0

It's hard to stomach how frivolous, cold, classist, and misogynist polite society in WWI Sussex can be, but so it was. I enjoyed bright eyed Miss Nash but rolled my eyes at her resignation to spinsterhood at 23. Would love if she got even more of a win.
