Publisher Description
MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Alexandra Frobisher is a modern-thinking woman with hopes of a career in England's famous chocolate-making town of York. She has received several proposals of marriage, although none of them promises that elusive extra – love.
Matthew Britten-Jones is a man of charm and strong social standing. He impresses Alex and her parents with his wit and intelligence, but would an amicable union be enough for a fulfilling life together?
At the end of the war, Captain Harry Blakeney discovers a dead soldier in a trench in France. In the man's possession is a secret love note, tucked inside a tin of chocolate that had been sent to the soldiers as a gift from the people back home.
In pursuit of the author of this mysterious message, Harry travels to Rowntree's chocolate factory in England's north, where his life becomes inextricably bound with Alexandra and Matthew's. Only together will they be able to unlock secrets of the past and offer each other the greatest gift for the future.
From the battlefields of northern France to the medieval city of York, this is a heartbreaking tale about a triangle of love in all its forms and a story about the bittersweet taste of life . . . and of chocolate.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Combining romance, mystery and historical fiction—plus the irresistible titular confection—The Chocolate Tin is a literary indulgence. Like all of Fiona McIntosh’s books, the novel centres around a compelling, independent heroine and is set against a backdrop of period details. After a World War I army captain discovers a love note on a dead soldier in France, he searches for the note’s author—leading him to Alexandra Frobisher, an aspiring chocolate maker who’s negotiating her way through a marriage that satisfies family expectations but not her heart. An unfolding love triangle yields a bittersweet life lesson.

From someone who as fallen in love with historical England.
Enjoyed the character development and their strength. History was a bonus to add to my knowledge. Thank you for sharing another story.
Caputued a bygone era
Thoroughly enjoyed it. The trials and tribulations of the British aristocracy, blended with the aftermath of war and female limitations, lends to a page turner.
