{"product_id":"the-summer-before-the-storm","title":"The Summer Before The Storm","description":"Muskoka, 1914. It is the Age of Elegance in the summer playground of the affluent and powerful. Amid the pristine, island-dotted lakes, the granite cliffs, and pine-scented forests of the Canadian wilderness, the young and carefree amuse themselves with glittering balls, lavish picnics, and friendly competitions. But their charmed lives begin to unravel with the onset of the Great War, in which many are destined to become part of the lost generation .\nThis richly textured tale takes the reader on an unforgettable journey from romantic moonlight cruises to the horrific sinking of the Lusitania, genteel Muskoka to wartime Britain, regattas on the water to combat in the skies over France, extravagant mansions to deadly trenches: from innocence to nationhood.\nThe Summer Before The Storm, the first of 'The Muskoka Novels', evokes a gracious, bygone era that still resonates in this legendary land of lakes.\nVisit theMuskokaNovels.com for more information.
