The Angry Women's Choir

 The Angry Women's Choir

Meg Bignell



Reviewed by Helen


I loved this story so very much, it is witty, laugh out loud funny, emotional, I cried and I yelled and I thought what the hell are they doing a few times as well, this is the story of a group of very different woman who come together as a choir, they are woman activists and music is the revolution of life and emotion, all the emotions, come along and meet theses woman.

Freycinet Barnes literally falls into the hands of the West Moonah Woman’s Choir, Frey has everything, doesn’t she a loving husband three beautiful children and is content but one morning everything seems different and this is the morning that starts the biggest change in her life ever, she is introduced to the choir, Bizzy, Kyrie, Rosanna, Irene, Sally, Eleanor, Mary Quin and Avni, these woman sing beautifully and Frey is introduced to the furies a time to let anger go and sing it away but surely the choir is not for her, or is it?

All these woman have a reason to be there their pasts are very different but music brings them together and now Frey has joined them and together they are going to become the Angry Women’s Choir to get woman the equality they deserve to stand together but emotions run high, there is laughter, tears and anger as they rally.

This story shows friendship, strength and support and is a book I would highly recommend, there are some way out there moments in this one but the powerful emotion and passion that runs through these woman vibrates through the words, this is the first book of MS Bignell’s that I have read it won’t be the last.

My thanks to Penguin AU for a copy to read and review.
