In 60-plus years I have read hundreds of books but rarely a novel as good as "The Chilbury Ladies' Choir" by Jennifer Ryan. Letters and journal entries tell the story of the women of a small English village near Dunkirk left behind when their men leave to fight in World War II. It is a moving account of war's tragedy and the changes in their lives — and in themselves.

First, Anitta took over Brazil. Now, the world. The trilingual Brazilian pop star has returned with a new album, the club-to-bedroom ready ''Funk Generation.'' It is an infectious collection of dance songs celebrating a once maligned genre that also manages to experiment beyond its confines. But those searching for more mainstream pop music should look elsewhere.
