Mrs. Braithwaite, self-appointed queen of her English village, finds herself dethroned, despised, and dismissed following her husband’s selfish divorce petition. Never deterred, the threat of a family secret being revealed sets off hot-foot to London to find the only person she has left - her clever daughter, Betty, who took work there at the first rumbles of war. But when she arrives, Betty’s landlord, the timid Mr. Norris, informs her that Betty hasn’t been home in days - with the chaos of the bombs, there’s no telling what might have befallen her.

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.

The City of Light is where Luz Alana will expand Caña Brava, the rum business her family built over three generations. It's a mission that's taken on new urgency after her father's untimely death and the news that her trust fund won't be released until she marries. But buyers and shippers alike are rude and dismissive; they can't imagine doing business with a woman…never mind a woman of color.

In this irresistibly imagined belowstairs answer to Pride and Prejudice, the servants take center stage. Sarah, the orphaned housemaid, spends her days scrubbing the laundry, polishing the floors, and emptying the chamber pots for the Bennet household. But there is just as much romance, heartbreak, and intrigue downstairs at Longbourn as there is upstairs. When a mysterious new footman arrives, the orderly realm of the servants’ hall threatens to be completely, perhaps irrevocably, upended.

Tess Delaney makes a living restoring stolen treasures to their rightful owners. People like Annelise Winther, who refuses to sell her long-gone mother’s beloved necklace - despite Tess’s advice. To Annelise, the jewel’s value is in its memories. But Tess’s own history is filled with gaps: a father she never met, a mother who spent more time traveling than with her daughter. So Tess is shocked when she discovers the grandfather she never knew is in a coma. And that she has been named in his will to inherit half of Bella Vista, a 100-acre apple orchard in the magical Sonoma town called Archangel. The rest is willed to Isabel Johansen. A half-sister she’s never heard of.
Written by: Susan Wiggs
Publisher's Summary
"Just because the men have gone to war, why do we have to close the choir? And precisely when we need it most!"
As England enters World War II's dark early days, spirited music professor Primrose Trent, recently arrived to the village of Chilbury, emboldens the women of the town to defy the Vicar's stuffy edict to shutter the church's choir in the absence of men and instead carry on singing. Resurrecting themselves as The Chilbury Ladies' Choir, the women of this small village soon use their joint song to lift up themselves and the community as the war tears through their lives.
Told through letters and journals, The Chilbury Ladies' Choir moves seamlessly from budding romances to village intrigues to heartbreaking matters of life and death. As we come to know the struggles of the charismatic members of this unforgettable outfit - a timid widow worried over her son at the front, the town beauty drawn to a rakish artist, her younger sister nursing an impossible crush and dabbling in politics she doesn't understand, a young Jewish refugee hiding secrets about her family, and a conniving midwife plotting to outrun her seedy past - we come to see how the strength each finds in the choir's collective voice reverberates in her individual life. In turns funny, charming and heart-wrenching, this lovingly executed ensemble novel will charm and inspire, illuminating the true spirit of the women on the home front, in a village of indomitable spirit, at the dawn of a most terrible conflict.
This audiobook includes popular versions of classical music sung by women's choirs, including the songs "Abide with Me" and "All Creatures", "Ave Maria", and "The Lord's My Shepherd".

A Romance
Ryan usually writes Contemporary Romance novels and, to me, this foray into Historic Fiction set in the early days of WWII Great Britain draws heavily on that style. It was all just a bit too heavy on the romance for me. The characters were often so thinly developed and stereo-typical that at times I had trouble keeping people straight. I agree with another reviewer--the time period was such a slim slice of history, so very early in the war, that I too wondered if this wasn't book one of a planned series? It was way too early in the war for all the triumph expressed--the book ends in fall of 1940 after all.
Some of the action was so improbable and unbelievable that I repeatedly deliberated about giving up on the book. In the end, it took me forever to finish listening and stay engaged. Honestly, I loved the premise of the story and had such high hopes. In parts, I thought Ryan did a good job capturing the feeling of what it is like to sing in a choir. I loved the idea of having an actual choir sing in the narration BUT then to ruin it by having the narrators read over the singing was just too much. What a waste.
Recommended only if you love romance novels in historic settings. I kept hoping it would become something more...it just never happened.

Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Voices
Not since the whole "Potato-Peel-Society" thing, have I liked a book of this sort so much. Told through journals, diaries, and letters, "The Chilbury Ladies' Choir" follows several different women, young and older, from all walks of life as they try to make their way through the new world of war and strife, of shifting values.
What I liked the most was the way the characters evolved in such believable ways; nothing was choppy or unrealistic. Childish Kitty does childish things... until she starts growing up and discovers there are consequences and sometimes, there are only hard choices to be made. The vain grow into themselves; the timid find their voices; the grieving find real solace.
This is a lovely book, sweet and unabashedly sentimental, filled with wonderful characters telling heartfelt stories of just trying to get along and find love within war-torn lives.

Delightful!
Would you listen to The Chilbury Ladies' Choir again? Why?
There aren't many books I would listen to again, but this one makes the short list. Multiple narrators with very different voices, accents, and inflections along with a powerful story line make this a very entertaining and thought provoking book.
What did you like best about this story?
Strong females facing difficult problems working together and individually to solve them.
Any additional comments?
Highly recommend. The combination of great story and awesome narration makes this a wonderful audible book.

What a refreshing story read by perfect voices! In these dismal days with uncertainty everywhere, it was a pleasure to spend a while in the little village of Chilbury during World War II. I think the audio perfectly fit this novel. Highly recommend it!

Good performances, slight characters
If you've read or listened to "The Geurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society", and are expecting this to be similar, you will be disappointed. The story here is much less interesting, and the characters are underdeveloped. There is not a single character that comes to life, in spite of the best efforts of the narrators.

Overrated book not far up from a romance novel
Shallow plot. Undeveloped characters. The story being told through verbatim conversations from letters and journals is a little much. Just don’t see why this was rated so highly. It is not much of a step up from a romance novel. Wish I had purchased something else

Soap Opera via audio
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
If you're into a soap opera styled story, and like story lines that have 18 year old girls vamping any male that takes their fancy, and a midwife that switches newborns - "steals" them off their mothers at birth - for money then you'll love this book.
What character would you cut from The Chilbury Ladies' Choir?
Vanetia and the midwife.
Any additional comments?
I gave this 2 stars overall due to the talented narration.
