Der Frauenchor von Chilbury

A wonderful read that goes straight to the heart. Inspired by her grandmother's story, British author Jennifer Ryan tells in her debut about a group of strong women at the beginning of World War II in a small village in England. Kent County, 1940: As more and more men are drafted into the military, the vicar of Chilbury decides to dissolve the parish choir. The women are deeply disappointed. What is left for them in the difficult wartime routine? But then music professor Primrose Trent arrives from London. She believes that music is especially important in tough times and proposes the establishment of an all-female choir. The idea is met with skepticism. A choir without any basses or tenors? But Primrose does not give up: with energy and passion, she pushes her project forward – against all odds.
