Book to Art Club: The Kitchen Front
Meet to discuss The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan and share art.
In 1942 Britain, wartime rationing has made every meal a challenge, and the BBC’s new program The Kitchen Front aims to help households make the most of limited ingredients. To find a female co-host, the show launches a cooking competition that draws four very different women. Audrey, a war widow, hopes to secure her family’s future. Nell, a timid kitchen maid, dreams of independence. Lady Gwendoline, trapped in an unhappy marriage, seeks control over her life. Zelda, a professional chef, wants to prove her worth in a field dominated by men. As rivalries and alliances form, food becomes both survival and opportunity, revealing the resilience and ingenuity of women on the home front.
About the club: Read a book and create art it inspires. Meet to share impressions of the book, show your art and describe your creative process. For adults 18+. Meetings are scheduled the fourth Saturday every other month. Pick up the selection at the front desk or drive-thru. New members always welcome.
June 27 selection: Mimi Lee Gets a Clue by Jennifer J. Chow.
