The Care and Management of Lies by Jacqueline Winspear
3.0
Kezia and Thea have been friends for years. Kezia is about to marry Tom, Thea's brother. Thea is not happy, and it causes problems in Kezia and Thea's relationship. Then, WWI starts, and everything changes.
Kezia and Tom have an idyllic start to their marriage, with Kezia learning to cook and live on the farm. When Tom goes to war, Kezia has to learn to manage all on her own. She communicates with Tom through long letters about her cooking (imaginary).
I won't comment about the end, but it's what brought the rating down.
All in all, a good commentary about the absurdity of war.
