This account chronicles the experiences of an American girl as she navigates the turmoil of World War I through her observations in Liège, Belgium, during the German invasion. The main character, Miss Bigelow, expresses the uncertainty and disruption of daily life as she witnesses the impact of war on the local population and her temporary hosts, the family of Monsieur X. The opening of the book introduces readers to the calm before the storm, depicting the seemingly serene life at the Château d'Angleur just days before the outbreak of war. Bigelow's writing captures the tension in the air and describes various characters, including the seemingly naive villagers, as they grapple with the approaching threat. Initial discussions reflect a sense of disbelief regarding the possibility of war, contrasted sharply with the subsequent intrusion of soldiers and the overwhelming militarization of their daily lives. As Miss Bigelow documents these daily occurrences in her journal, the reader senses an inevitable shift from tranquility to chaos, marked by events such as the gathering of troops and unsettling news from the front lines. This stark beginning sets the stage for a poignant exploration of the human cost of war.
