Amazing Interlude

Amazing Interlude is a play by Mary Roberts Rinehart, written during the early days of World War I. It follows Sara Lee, who begins in her aunt and uncle's home, knitting a baby afghan, and soon finds herself in a fantastical adventure where she becomes a princess in a mystical forest. The narrative contrasts her mundane reality with a whimsical escape, ultimately leading her back to a more profound understanding of love and duty. Rinehart's work is notable for blending elements of fantasy with the stark realities of war.
