General Note
"Título original en inglés: The Kitchen Front"--Title page verso.
Description
"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."--Amazon.com.
Description
"Two years after the Second World War, Britain feels its losses: the Nazis have won battles, the Blitz has destroyed cities and submarines have cut off food supplies. In an effort to help housewives with rationing When it comes to food, the BBC radio show The Kitchen Front is hosting a cooking competition and the grand prize is a job as the show's first co-presenter. For four very different women, winning the competition would represent a crucial opportunity to change their lives. For a young widow, it is a chance to pay her husband's debts and keep a roof over her children's heads. For a kitchen maid, it is a chance to leave servitude and find freedom. For a lady who lives in a mansion, it's a chance to escape the increasingly hostile behavior of her rich husband. And for a chef, it's a chance to challenge the men at the top of her profession. These four women will give their all, even if they have to break the established rules in a turbulent time."--Amazon.com.
