Brief Response

This novel follows four women on the home front in World War II-era England. It gives readers insight into rationing, authentic recipes at the closing of every chapter, and life on the home front rather than the front lines. There is a sense of competitiveness and camaraderie throughout this story as these four women compete in a propaganda cooking contest and face their own battles at home. Perfect for historical fiction readers and anyone interested in home front life, rather than war and espionage, during World War II.
