Book
The Chilbury Ladies' Choir : a novel / Jennifer Ryan.
Résumé :
Through letters and journals, this novel unfolds the struggles, affairs, deceptions, and triumphs of five members of a female-only choir in an English village in Kent during World War II as they band together to survive the chaotic upheavals of war, love, and village intrigue that surround them on the English home front. Funny, charming, and heart-wrenching, this lovingly executed ensemble novel illuminates the true strength of women on the home front in a village of indomitable spirit.
Kent, 1940. In the idyllic village of Chilbury change is afoot. Hearts are breaking as sons and husbands leave to fight, and when the Vicar decides to close the choir until the men return, all seems lost. But coming together in song is just what the women of Chilbury need in these dark hours, and they are ready to sing. With a little fighting spirit and the arrival of a new musical resident, the charismatic Miss Primrose Trent, the choir is reborn. Some see the choir as a chance to forget their troubles, others the chance to shine. Though for one villager, the choir is the perfect cover to destroy Chilbury’s new-found harmony.
