Two years into World War II, Britain is feeling her losses: The Nazis have won battles, the Blitz has destroyed cities, and U-boats have cut off the supply of food. In an effort to help housewives with food rationing, a BBC radio program called The Kitchen Front is holding a cooking contest - and the grand prize is a job as the program’s first-ever female co-host. For four very different women, winning the competition would present a crucial chance to change their lives.

In 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was shaken by an irreversible betrayal.

August 1939: London is dismal under the weight of impending war with Germany as Hitler’s forces continue to sweep across Europe. Into this uncertain maelstrom steps Grace Bennett, young and ready for a fresh start in the bustling city streets she’s always dreamed of - and miles away from her troubled past in the countryside. With aspirations of working at a department store, Grace never imagined she’d wind up employed at Primrose Hill, an offbeat bookshop nestled in the heart of the city - after all, she’s never been much of a reader.

Histoire
Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan’s friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie’s intuitive gifts. The outbreak of war changed everything. Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive.

Description
From the best-selling author of The Tuscan Child and the Her Royal Spyness series comes a beautiful, heart-rending novel of a woman’s love and sacrifice set during the First World War. The tender tale is exquisitely performed by Saskia Maarleveld, a narrator with over 325 audiobooks—including multiple AudioFile Earphones Award-winners—to her name.
As the Great War continues to take a devastating toll on the globe, Emily Bryce meets Robbie, a cheeky and handsome Australian pilot who is set to be deployed to the frontlines. After a whirlwind romance, the two fall in love and marry. After Robbie ships out, Emily volunteers as a land girl, tending to the neglected grounds of a large Devonshire estate. Not long after, however, Emily receives devastating news; Robbie has been killed in the line of duty. Grief-stricken, Emily—who has just discovered that she is pregnant—turns to an unexpected source of hope. In the pages of a long-forgotten journal from a medicine woman who devoted her life to the gardens she now tends, she finds not only comfort and solace—but perhaps a path to her destiny.

An Uplifting Story
I enjoyed this book a great deal but I did find it went on and on in places. The story was interesting especially the information about herbal remedies. The narrator was quite good but in parts it was a bit hard to tell who was talking. An easy read though not very plausible

A fair story, somewhat disjointed but mostly engaging.
I found it frustrating that all the men sounded the same, rough and uneducated no matter who they were.

Solid enjoyable good read!
I have now listened to several books by Rhys Bowen and have really enjoyed the pacing , flavour and character development .
I enjoy the authors voice and the strong women that she creates! Looking forward to more.
Very please to find that there are many more novels by “Rhys Bowen” and her alter ego Janet Quin-Harkin

Historical fiction at its best
An absolutely charming novel with a wonderful cast of characters, and utterly superb narration. A most satisfying conclusion with an unexpected twist. This is the first novel by Rhys Bowen that I’ve read, but certainly it will not be the last.

It was awful
The story started slow and stayed there. There was absolutely nothing likeable about the main character and I developed no rapport or empathy towards her. Her hardships were ridiculous compared to the realities of war. It would have been a much better book if she had been killed off. I regret wasting my time on this book.

Not this author's best work
I'm a huge fan of this author but this particular story is very weak. It's mild entertainment, well-performed if you are looking for some undemanding background, but the characters are weak, the storyline predictable and too pat. Not at all what I've come to expect from this author.
