Summary: Libby is in Sherborn Women's Prison, never mind why, when Mrs. Wilkinson shows up and decides to organize a chior. It's amazing how much that changes things.
Reaction: First, there's always the fact that the book takes place in a prison (a WWI era prison, at that), which intrigues me. Isn't it natural to be curious what prison life is like?
Then there's the fact that the book includes random snippets of songs, most of which I recognize, which is rather cool.
Third is the story itself, a moving account of the influence one person can have on the lives of many, especially the protagonist. I'll admit I almost started crying at/near the end of the book.
