The Amazing Interlude

Mary Roberts Rinehart · 1918 · Adventure, Romance, Historical

1914. Sara Lee Kennedy leaves quiet Pennsylvania — and a patient suitor — to run a little soup-kitchen behind the Belgian front. Amid spies, shellfire and a gallant officer, an ordinary girl finds an extraordinary interlude, and a love that war cannot touch.
