Though her future was still uncertain, she was on a new and curious path. A path her relatives had been walking for generations. Her story was now entwined with that of Kopciuszek. A servant to the queen.

I know a lot of people are tired of World War II fiction, but not me. I always tend to find ones from a different perspective that I haven't read before. I loved this one with 4 POVs set on the British home front. It has reconciliation and a little romance as well.
pickI hoped for more depth in a couple of the key characters. Good story of strong women who become trusted friends and found family. Set in WWII England just outside London, a cooking competition brings 4 women together. There is drama, love, and heart break.
3.5⭐️ we love a strong woman! Recommend.
Started this today while I work. So far it‘s good. I‘m hoping the we get a little more depth from a couple of the key characters though.

pickI love WWII fiction and this gave me such a warm and comforting feeling while I listened to it…there‘s just something about that whole “keeping the home fires burning” scenario, even while it can be sad, that draws me in and gives me comfort. The characters were great - other than one, which was just horrid and I didn‘t believe her big change one bit - and I definitely recommend to anyone who loves WWII fiction like I do. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I‘m current reading and enjoying the 4th book in the highly amusing Provincial Lady series.
That‘s “Cook” on the cover being fitted for her gas mask. 😆
Nadzia tucked the cleaning rag into her apron in exchange for her feather duster. She held it out like it was a dance partner and placed her other hand against her chest in mock modesty.

pickI have been saving this one (part of my #RecipeSwap package from @BookNAround last year) for my virtual foodie book club. Sweet WWII historical fiction about 4 very different British women in a wartime cooking contest with the first prize of being a radio host on The Kitchen Front radio show, helping housewives & home cooks creat good meals from their rations & learn how to stretch them. A bit predictable , but an endearing story of friendship.
