Description

Three women's lives become entwined by war, work, and a child called David at Cadbury's Bournville factory.

In Annie Murray's bestselling Chocolate Girls, three very different women work together at Cadbury's Bournville factory during World War II, where their lives become entwined by their shared experiences and a mysterious orphaned boy named David.

Edie, widowed and childless at nineteen, finds new purpose when an infant abandoned during the Blitz is placed in her care. Ruby settles for marriage with Frank, not wanting to be left behind in the wedding stakes. And kind-hearted Janet is deeply hurt by an affair with a married man.

As Edie raises David, he becomes the love of all their lives. When he is old enough to question his identity, he leads Edie through struggle and heartache to a life and love she never could have imagined.

Chocolate Girls is a captivating tale of love, loss, friendship and motherhood set against the backdrop of the iconic Cadbury factory during the Second World War. The story continues in the engaging sequel, The Bells of Bournville Green.
