The Chilbury Ladies' Choir by Jennifer Ryan

4.0

Charming novel depicting a small rural English town as World War II looms closer. The town is comprised mostly of women, as the men have gone off to war. They decide it important to form the Chilbury Ladies' Choir to uplift the spirits of those who continue to reside in their small community. Told from various points of view through letters, the story is filled with tender and sometimes sad moments and sprinkled in with some uplifting ones as well. Storylines evolve around romance, deception and the innocence of youth. A pleasing read, but absent of the powerful female characters that have become popular in WWII fiction. A pleasant read. Rating not a full 4 stars...
