Summer Before the War

The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson
496 Pages (Comes out March 2016)

From the author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand this novel is set in the beginning of World War One.  Simonson does a good job of capturing the  small village atmosphere and develops strong characters in her writing.  There is humor as well as sadness as a generation loses their innocence.
