    About this audiobook

    Driven by a sense of duty and a fear of monotony, Sara Lee leaves her comfortable life and fiance in Philadelphia to serve the Red Cross in Belgium during World War I. The spirited heroine finds a niche for herself helping wounded soldiers. Then she meets a mysterious gentleman and falls into a haunting romance.

    The Amazing Interlude is a bittersweet journey that draws from author Mary Rinehart's own experience as a World War I correspondent. Fusing fiction with fact, she deftly portrays an exhilarating tale of an honorable woman's determination to make a difference in a time of tumultuous war.

    • 4/5
      A 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.
    • 4/5
      A good love story with the backdrop of World War 1.Though I wished the ending which was conventional had been different
    • 4/5
      A 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.
