Reviews for The Amazing Interlude
4 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A romance of the first order; and a look back at a time gone by when women were not as empowered as they are today. But the issues of love, family, communication, country, are still issues today. The biggest enlightenment for me was that the author saw the terrorism of war as hate. She did have it right. Though this book was written almost 100 years ago it is a story that will draw you in and keep you involved all the way to the end.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good love story with the backdrop of World War 1.Though I wished the ending which was conventional had been different
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A tearjerker towards the end. The many instances of the author addressing the reader to say that later the heroine would find something out got on my nerves.
