This is a free book I got on my Nook Tablet. I put off reading it for quite some time, thinking that it might not be very good. It was a different, maybe less polished book, but better than many others I have read. It is a historical novel which takes place during WWI, and tells the story of one young woman's courage and ability to positively impact the lives of others, if only for a day. It also illustrates how differently women were treated in that place and time. I really liked it and am glad to have read it. A very readable, if highly idealized story about a small-town girl who leaves home (and fiancée) to set up a soup kitchen near the Belgian lines during World War I. There she serves thousands of weary soldiers and forms an unexpected relationship with a courageous Belgian spy.Although Sara Lee was occasionally too wholesome to be realistic, her bravery and her growth as the story progresses make her an excellent heroine. This book was especially poignant, in that it was written in 1918, near the end of the war.
What do You think about The Amazing Interlude (1918)?
World War I story. I really liked how the main character was developed.

Not bad, but because it is also a romance, I couldn't get into it..
