The Spies of Shilling Lane by Jennifer Ryan

When Mrs. Braithwaite is ostracized by the community because of her recent divorce and her bossiness running the local Women's Voluntary Service, she decides to travel to London to see her daughter, Betty. When Mrs. Braithwaite arrives where Betty is staying, she discovers that Betty is missing. With help from Betty's landlord, Mr. Norris, Mrs. Braithwaite finds herself involved in quite an adventure to bring Betty home. Mrs. Braithwaite also discovers her life and herself changed forever for the better amid wartime London. The Spies of Shilling Lane is a delightful read, much better executed than Ryan's debut, The Chilbury Ladies' Choir. A great read-alike for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. It will be published in June.
