The Chilbury Ladies' Choir by Jennifer Ryan
4.0
4.5
Oh, this was a lovely read. I so enjoy a good epistolary novel, and this is definitely a good one. I loved all of the women the book focused on so much (well, except Edwina but only a sociopath would be rooting for Edwina). I wanted to see them all happy and well, and yet there is a war and they are just at the beginning of it. However, I loved how the author used the choir and music to give these women purpose and to shore up their lives when they needed it the most. It was truly wonderful. The only reason it's not getting a full 5 stars is that I had to suspend my disbelief a bit with how much Venetia was telling Angela in her letters. That seemed a bit too much, but she is young so I guess it makes sense. I am definitely going to read more from this author now.
