The Chilbury Ladies' Choir
reviewed on + 379 more book reviews


This is a story told by journal entries and letters. It takes place in a small English village, Chilbury, during the early days of WWII when most of the men have gone to join the fighting forces and the women remain to maintain the homefront. Five women share their observations of life within Chilbury - there are intrigues, deceptions, romances, and betrayals. There is also a growing belief in the strength of their abilities. An interesting sequel would follow these women during the progression of the war as they face increased hardships.
