From the bestselling author of The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir comes an unforgettable novel of a BBC-sponsored wartime cooking competition and the four women who enter for a chance to better their lives. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY GOOD HOUSEKEEPING • “This story had me so hooked, I literally couldn’t put it down.”—NPR 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. For a young widow, it’s a chance to pay off her husband’s debts and keep a roof over her children’s heads. For a kitchen maid, it’s a chance to leave servitude and find freedom. For a lady of the manor, it’s a chance to escape her wealthy husband’s increasingly hostile behavior. And for a trained chef, it’s a chance to challenge the men at the top of her profession. These four women are giving the competition their all—even if that sometimes means bending the rules. But with so much at stake, will the contest that aims to bring the community together only serve to break it apart?

Recollection of youthful, romantic and passionate love, which never turned into stable relationship; tragically ended marriage, and other personal and family problems; very difficult, often controversial life of a talented actress under communism in Poland, described day in day out, and which almost parenthetically covering the last twenty years of the regime; and the clandestine activities of opposition against the communism; are the few threads of this multidimensional novel. The contemporary dimension of the novel comprises Polish post-communism and built up of the new social class called red bourgeoisie and the way the main character is confronted with religious ignorance and intolerance; corruption and frequent appearance of cases of perverse, often duplicitous accusations of collaboration with the ex communist security system, aiming as an embarrassing argument in political and private matters; and often instrumental as a blackmail. There are other, political, moral and social overtones, too.

Watch out for karaoke mishaps that result in a fake engagement...because weddings are forever... When librarian Cecily Jane Allerton and hotshot struggling author Nate Ellis are caught in a compromising position during their MFA program, they decide to get married to keep the haters from destroying their careers. To the horror of Cecily's family, which is a big fan of big white weddings, they elope to City Hall. Now they're back on Block Island, pretending to be a real married couple, and finding that however fake the relationship may be, the mutual attraction is all too real. With Cecily vying for a literary award, Nate striving to get past his writer's block, and plans to annul the marriage after the MFA program ends, what could possibly go wrong?
