Summer Before the War
Summer Before the War | Helen Simonson
"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER A novel to cure your "Downton Abbey" withdrawal . . . a delightful story about nontraditional romantic relationships, class snobbery and the everybody-knows-everybody complications of living in a small community. "The Washington Post" The bestselling author of "Major Pettigrew s Last Stand "returns with a breathtaking novel of love on the eve of World War I that reaches far beyond the small English town in which it is set. 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 saber 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 freethinking 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 colorful characters who 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. Praise for "The Summer Before the War" "" What begins as a study of a small-town society becomes a compelling account of war and its aftermath. "Woman s Day" This witty character study of how a small English town reacts to the 1914 arrival of its first female teacher offers gentle humor wrapped in a hauntingly detailed story. "Good Housekeeping" Perfect for readers in a post "Downton Abbey" slump . . . The gently teasing banter between two kindred spirits edging slowly into love is as delicately crafted as a bone-china teacup. . . . More than a high-toned romantic reverie for Anglophiles though it serves the latter purpose, too. "The Seattle Times" [Helen Simonson s] characters are so vivid, it s as if a PBS series has come to life. There s scandal, star-crossed love and fear, but at its heart, "The Summer Before the War "is about loyalty, love and family. "AARP: The Magazine" 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" "" 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""

If you enjoyed the Cazelet Chronicles, you will enjoy this book. After her father dies, Beatrice is hired as a Latin teacher in the little town of Rye. She is determined to remain a spinster, and write her book. The book tells of the culture and prejudices of a small town before WW1. How far we have come as a people since this age.

It‘s been a bit of a down summer, no doubt about it. Once my FIL left in June (he stayed with us for a month after recovering from the virus and is doing fine now) I‘ve been at loose ends. What better way to lift spirits than reading & Litsy? And camping in place! Mark pulled the trailer to the bottom of our property & we‘re loving it. I‘m also greatly enjoying the wit and story in Summer Before the War. Hope the weekend has been kind to all.

End of day 5 of the #EasterExtravaganza Readathon, a very productive day where I read 553 pages, the most so far on any day, and finished one book.

Overall Totals

Books Finished : 4/7

Pages Read : 2466 / 3000

Going for broke and now shooting for 4000 pages and 8 books finished.

Hestapleton I was just wondering - does the challenge end on the 18th at midnight or the 19th at midnight? I always overthink these things and confuse myself 🙈 4y

Finished book 4 for #EasterExtravaganza and am on 2074 / 3000 pages.

Very much a book of 2 halves, the period before the war & the scenes from the war period. Overall it was a very strong read, but difficult to read at points in the second half 😢 The way soldiers were treated in the war by the army was beyond scandalous, & the powers the officers took on themselves. 😡 My heart goes out to all those soldiers who had their lives ended early.

CaitZ I totally agree with your review. I finished it a couple of weeks ago and am still bother by the second half. 4y

I found this painfully apropos:
“Keep one‘s regular routine and refuse to show agitation,” said John. “It is important that we set a good example, because news of this kind has a way of stirring up the population.”
“I had better get in a few supplies,” said Agatha. “You know I like to be prepared.”
“Hoarding will be frowned upon officially,” said her husband. “It produces shortages and drives up prices.”

I enjoyed the first 70%of this. Set in a small English village just before the start of WWI, I became engrossed in the character's lives. But the war starts and it takes a much darker turn. The last 30% upset me.

I liked the premise of the plot, but I wasn't crazy about its execution. Some of the characters had so much promise, it centered about a quirky well to do family in England. However, that fun quirkiness got lost within the very prim, and at times, very long winded descriptions. There was some parts of the book that could have been taken out, and you'd never know they were missing.

marleed Oh I felt the same way when I read this last summer. I wanted to love the story as much as I love the cover! 4y

Like Downton Abbey in book form! Not as much drama, but the same focus on a wide variety of class/experience and a picture of the 1910s ethos, culture, and pressures.

I‘m not sold on the pacing of the story, the many POVs, and the foray into a year+ of the war. I enjoyed the cultural mindset, the relationships, and many characters. I wish there was more Beatrice!

Certainly one of my favorite reads in a while.

This was lovely—both charming and heartbreaking in turn. I enjoyed the WWI-era English village setting, while at the same time being infuriated by its of-the-time sexism, prejudice, and petty politics. The novel is packed with great characters, and I especially loved the main character: strong, intelligent, independent Beatrice Nash. This was my third book finished for #MakeMeReadIt—another fantastic pick!

Nute I haven‘t read this book but I thoroughly enjoyed Helen Simonson‘s first novel, Major Pettigrew‘s Last Stand, and for the same reason that you liked this book...endearing characters. 5y
BarbaraJean @Nute Oh, I‘m glad to hear you enjoyed Major Pettigrew! It‘s been on my shelf a little longer than this one, but I was enticed to read this one first, seasonally, because of the “summer” in the title! 5y

This beauty seemed so long that it‘s been sitting on my tbr for quite some time. It gave me Downton Abbey Season 1 vibes, but did I mention it was waaay longer than necessary. I fear I‘ll carry with me the DAs1 feels rather than the actual story. However, cuteness helps and she‘s a gorgeous cover! ...It also makes me grateful my long widowed self is not attempting to live my best life in the culture of 100 years ago.

KimM I bought it for the cover. Still haven't read it and its looking more and more like I won't. It's ok to buy books for home decor, right? 😂 5y

Historical fiction set in a small English town in the summer of 1914, right before WWI. This is a quiet book where not a lot happens, but the atmosphere is wonderful. Beatrice, whose father has just died, comes to the town to teach Latin. The townsfolk are shocked at her independence, but she eventually becomes part of the town. When Belgian refugees come seeking help, the town will never be quite the same.

The writing was delicious and I loved the first part of the book that truly had a feminist message. Given that this was set in 1914 Britain, it was wonderfully refreshing. I can‘t help to say that the romance that followed disappointed me. The story was a quiet story that reflected a simpler time in England, which led to the shattering of that world with the onset of WWI.

Louise “Delicious” is a great word to describe this book! I loved the witty banter between the characters. 5y

I had lots of reading time for this library book because I stayed home with my sick son the last days (he's feeling better now). It started a bit slow, but I didn't mind because it was clear that soon nothing would be the same. I really liked Beatrice and was angry how she was treated. Some parts had a Downton Abbey vibe (I'm not complaining). I prefer the English version's cover.
A great book, I will check out the author's other book sometime.

Louise Did you find that the English wit in this book translated well into German? 5y
PickwickPlockPlock @Louise I wouldn't have called the book especially witty, so maybe it doesn't, but I didn't have the impression that I was missing a layer, so to speak. 5y
Louise Interesting. In English, there is often a very British dry humor in the banter between the characters. Aside from poetry, humor may be one of the most difficult things to translate. 5y
PickwickPlockPlock @Louise That's one of the reasons I normally prefer to read English books in the original, but this was a library book, so I didn't have the choice. 5y
Louise I can understand that! I enjoy the humor of Ingrid Noll and prefer to read her books in German. Of course, I don‘t really have a choice, as only 2 of her books are available in English! 😆 (edited) 5y

Excellent #audiobook. The dialogue is clever and witty, and the characters are interesting and nicely developed. The reader gets to know the characters before WWI and then experiences the effect of the war on each of them. One sees how people‘s perspectives change in the face of so much death. It is deeply moving and thought-provoking.

Loved, loved, loved this one. It tells the story of a sleepy town and its inhabitants as World War I breaks out and they‘re forced to reckon with the reality of a war. All of the characters where lifelike and truthful, even if, at times, I wanted to grab some of them by the shoulders and shake em. If you liked Major Pettigrew‘s Last Stand and Downton Abbey, this should be right up your alley.
