Four women compete for a once-in-a-lifetime spot hosting a BBC cooking program during World War II in this vibrant historical novel from the bestselling author of The Chilbury Ladies Choir.
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 putting on a cooking contestand the grand prize is a job as the programs first-ever female co-host. For four very different women, winning the contest presents a crucial chance to change their lives.
For a young widow, its a chance to pay off her husbands debts and keep a roof over her childrens heads. For a kitchen maid, its a chance to leave servitude and find freedom. For the lady of the manor, its a chance to escape her wealthy husbands increasingly hostile behavior. And for a trained chef, its a chance to challenge the men at the top of her profession.
These four women are giving the competition their alleven if that sometimes means bending the rules. But with so much at stake, will the contest that aims to bring the community together end up breaking it apart?
