ReviewsPraise for The Chilbury Ladies' Choir "A delightful debut." -- People "Intrigue, romance, and an unforgettable cast of characters who aren't always as they appear . . . a charming slice of English wartime life that warms the soul like a hot toddy." --Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls and Lost Roses "A novel set in a time of war to a tune called pleasing." -- The New York Times Book Review "Sinks you deep inside the rich, intricate atmosphere of an English village in the middle of war . . Jennifer Ryan creates the kind of wartime novel that plays out over the intimate territory of the human heart--full of soul, full of hope." --Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of The Golden Hours "Well-written and absorbing." -- Bookreporter Praise for The Spies of Shilling Lane "Fans of Ryan's debut novel, The Chilbury Ladies' Choir . . . will be drawn in by this quick and delightful mystery set in London in March 1941. . . . Ryan's subtlety shines in her acknowledgment of the importance of remembering the people who pass through our lives and in her descriptions of how war and conflict can teach empathy and change people for the better." -- The New York Times Book Review "A crisp and energetic book . . . There's just the right amount of tutting, snapping, clasping, grasping, sneering and snarling that, along with a tight plot, keep a reader gladly bouncing along." --NPR "With its eccentric, believable characters and plot of home front intrigue, this delightful drama will appeal to fans of Martha Hall Kelly." -- Publishers Weekly "Richly detailed . . . This tale swept me away!" -- First for Women

SynopsisFrom the bestselling author of The Chilbury Ladies' Choir comes an unforgettable novel of a BBC-sponsored wartime cooking competition and the four women who enter for a chance to better their lives. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY GOOD HOUSEKEEPING * "This story had me so hooked, I literally couldn't put it down."--NPR Two years into World War II, Britain is feeling her losses: The Nazis have won battles, the Blitz has destroyed cities, and U-boats have cut off the supply of food. In an effort to help housewives with food rationing, a BBC radio program called The Kitchen Front is holding a cooking contest--and the grand prize is a job as the program's first-ever female co-host. For four very different women, winning the competition would present a crucial chance to change their lives. For a young widow, it's a chance to pay off her husband's debts and keep a roof over her children's heads. For a kitchen maid, it's a chance to leave servitude and find freedom. For a lady of the manor, it's a chance to escape her wealthy husband's increasingly hostile behavior. And for a trained chef, it's a chance to challenge the men at the top of her profession. These four women are giving the competition their all--even if that sometimes means bending the rules. But with so much at stake, will the contest that aims to bring the community together only serve to break it apart?, From the bestselling author of The Chilbury Ladies' Choir comes an unforgettable novel of a BBC-sponsored wartime cooking competition and the four women who enter for a chance to better their lives.

Great priced book in great condition and a good read
The condition of the book is better than I expected for the price; it is in new condition, and it arrived well packaged and in good time. The story is good too. I enjoy historical fiction and lately I've enjoyed British WW2 history. The content is concerning 4 women competing in a cooking contest which will change the life of the winner.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
