Choral Society

Three single London women in their fifties meet in their choral class and bond over life’s difficulties in this novel from the Great British Bake Off judge.

“A saucy treat that demonstrates to readers that even in middle age there is still lots of life to live.” —Booklist

When Lucy and Rebecca agree to help the shy Joanna overcome stagefright during their choral class, an unlikely friendship develops among the three. And soon enough, the lessons turn to matters of the heart. Lucy has been recently widowed and now faces the loss of her “old-fashioned” food column. Rebecca is a flighty single mother with a voracious sexual appetite, and Joanna is a hard charging businesswoman, who comes home nightly to an empty house.

“[Leith] depicts these smart coming-of-middle-age denizens with wisdom, humor and a dollop of realistic angst.” —Publishers Weekly
