Book description
Recommended by Gayle'A book I wish I'd written myself. Laura Shapiro tells the stories of six women through the food they ate (or didn't, in the case of Helen Gurley Brown). It's filled with fascinating historical details - on catering for Edwardian high society in Rosa Lewis's case, and the bizarre diets of the Nazi Party elites in Eva Braun's. My favourite chapter is on Barbara Pym - a perfect potted account of why a) British food isn't as bad as people make out and b) you need to read all of Pym's novels immediately.'

I'm blown away by ListenBook's ability to play diverse formats flawlessly – it's a game-changer. ListenBook's comprehensive format support makes it the ultimate companion for audiobook enthusiasts. The app is so reliable. I’ve never had any issues with it. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
