From Annie Murray, the bestselling author of The Bells of Bournville Green, comes Secrets of the Chocolate Girls, another gritty family saga about love, war and chocolate . . .
September 1940, Birmingham.
While her husband and daughter work at Cadbury's Bournville factory, Ann Gilby has her hands full at home. Her other daughter, Sheila, has newly returned home with baby Elaine. And, with Sheila's husband away doing his bit in the RAF, Ann knows she should be grateful to have all her children safe under one roof.
But she can't help but fear for their uncertain future, as bombs fall ever closer to her Birmingham home. Part of her yearns for the carefree days of her youth when she too worked the line at Cadbury's, filling trays of chocolate shells.
But mostly Ann tries not to think of the past at all, since that would mean she would have to confront her oldest secret. A secret that she has kept since the last war, and the one that could easily rip her family apart . . .
