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

The Amazing Interlude is a bittersweet journey that draws from 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.

Editorial reviews

Torn between two worlds, Sara Lee Kennedy must choose whether to stay with the man to whom she is betrothed or to follow her adventurous heart. Written for women by a woman, Mary Roberts Rinehart's story examines the plight of the fair sex in the early 1900s, but still the themes resonate today. Shelly Frasier's heartfelt voice brings intensity to this World War I romance. Reveling in each delicious word, Frasier handles both accents and men's voices extremely well using the full register of her voice. This audiobook is a must for smitten travelers, or those who wish they were.

Good storyline, believable characters who are interesting to watch as they "grow". The narrator was quite good - changed voices and accents well. Not a 5 star mainly because it wasn't an OMG type of book.

Enjoyable
