4 stars
Set during 1940, Europe is coming apart at the seams and the ladies of Chilbury make the controversial decision to continue their village choir even though there are no men left to sing. This book is about much more than a choir, though, so the title may be misleading. Mainly this is the story of how a village of women came together during the war and took charge of their own lives. Full of characters who are well-developed and full of growth, this is a heartwarming story. I would advise to read it as a chapter book told from different narratives instead of as an epistolary novel because the letters are not at all realistically written. If you take away the fact that these chapters are supposed to be letters and journal entries, this is a beautifully written novel about the role of women during World War II. I received this book from the Blogging for Books Program in exchange for an honest review.
