Описание: East Sussex, 1914. It is the end of England's brief Edwardian summer, and everyone agrees that the weather has never been so beautiful. Hugh Grange, down from his medical studies, is visiting his Aunt Agatha, who lives with her husband in the small, idyllic coastal town of Rye.

Agatha's husband works in the Foreign Office, and she is certain he will ensure that the recent sabre rattling over the Balkans won't come to anything. And Agatha has more immediate concerns; she has just risked her carefully built reputation by pushing for the appointment of a woman to replace the Latin master. When Beatrice Nash arrives with one trunk and several large crates of books, it is clear she is significantly more free thinking - and attractive - than anyone believes a Latin teacher should be.

For her part, mourning the death of her beloved father who has left her penniless, Beatrice simply wants to be left alone to pursue her teaching and writing. But just as Beatrice comes alive to the beauty of the Sussex landscape, and the colourful characters that populate Rye, the perfect summer is about to end. For despite Agatha's reassurances, the unimaginable is coming.

Soon the limits of progress, and the old ways, will be tested as this small Sussex town and its inhabitants go to war.

Описание: Helen Simonson s beloved, "New York Times" bestselling debut, "Major Pettigrew s Last Stand, "instantly established her reputation as an uncommonly gifted storyteller, with humor, wit, and a sharp eye for character. Now she returns with an equally compelling work of fiction, one that reaches far beyond the small English village in which it is set.

Advance praise for "The Summer Before the War"
At once haunting and effervescent, "The Summer Before the War" demonstrates the sure hand of a master. Helen Simonson s characters enchant us, her English countryside beguiles us, and her historical intelligence keeps us at the edge of our seats. This luminous story of a family, a town, and a world in their final moments of innocence is as lingering and lovely as a long summer sunset. Annie Barrows, author of "The Truth According to Us" and co-author of "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society"
""
Helen Simonson has outdone herself in this radiant follow-up to "Major Pettigrew s Last Stand." The provincial town of Rye, East Sussex, in the days just before and after the Great War is so vividly drawn it fairly vibrates. The depth and sensitivity with which she weighs the steep costs and delicate bonds of wartime and not just for the young men in the trenches, but for every changed life and heart reveal the full mastery of her storytelling. Simonson is like a Jane Austen for our day and age she is that good and "The Summer Before the War" is nothing short of a treasure. Paula McLain, author of "The Paris Wife "and" Circling the Sun""
