A wonderful book told through the eyes of the women in a small English town during the year 1940. All of the young men have left to fight in WWII leaving the town's women as the strongest group to run the town. The women, of course, are overwhelmed, sad, and not used to running the show. They quickly band together with the help of the new choral director to become each other's support system. Told mostly through letters this book deals with every kind of issue you could expect during this time period. Loss, love, grief, war, and family issues.
I would welcome another work by this author gladly!
Thank you First to Read for the opportunity to read this wonderful work.
