Una novela inolvidable sobre un concurso de cocina en tiempos de guerra patrocinado por la BBC y la historia de las cuatro mujeres que participan para tener la oportunidad de mejorar sus vidas.

Dos años después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Gran Bretaña siente sus pérdidas: los nazis han ganado batallas, el Blitz ha destruido ciudades y los submarinos han cortado el suministro de alimentos. En un esfuerzo por ayudar a las amas de casa con el racionamiento de alimentos, el programa de radio de la BBC llamado The Kitchen Front está organizando un concurso de cocina y el gran premio es un trabajo como primera copresentadora del programa. Para cuatro mujeres, muy distintas entre sí, ganar la competición representaría una oportunidad crucial para cambiar sus vidas.

Para una viuda joven, supone la oportunidad de pagar las deudas de su esposo y mantener un techo sobre las cabezas de sus hijos. Para una criada de cocina, es una oportunidad de dejar la servidumbre y encontrar la libertad. Para una señora que vive en una mansión, es la oportunidad de escapar del comportamiento cada vez más hostil de su marido rico. Y para una chef, es una oportunidad de desafiar a los hombres en la cima de su profesión.

Estas cuatro mujeres lo darán todo de sí, aunque tengan que romper las reglas establecidas en un tiempo convulso.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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. 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?
