Lucy, recently widowed, is a cook and food journalist; Joanna, a successful business woman, never married; Rebecca is a divorced interior decorator. Each of the women is at a crossroads and they quickly form a bond. \u003cbr\u003eThe trio decide to combine their talents to restore a crumbling pile in Cornwall and turn it into a cookery school and spa. The project brings its own conflicts, both professional and personal. The novel's themes touch on the sustaining power of female friendship and how a woman copes with mid life and onwards. \u003cbr\u003ePrue's narrative voice is warm, witty, wise, very accessible. Her characters are sympathetic and engaging: very different women but each with demons to face as she gets older and confronts a future without - perhaps - a man in it. Her knowledge of food and business adds detail and zest, enriching an already compelling tale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prue Leith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849160139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849160131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quercus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 4.96w x 0.96d","brand":"Prue Leith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000492597503,"sku":"9781849160131","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-choral-society-prue-leith-9781849160131","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
