Excellent- More about Dear Mrs Bird
In 1941 London, Emmeline Lake and her best friend Bunty are trying to stay cheerful despite the Luftwaffe making life difficult. When Emmy sees a job advertisement for a Lady War Correspondent, she takes her chance and ends up typing letters for Henrietta Bird, the renowned agony aunt of Womans Friend magazine. Mrs. Bird is very clear that letters containing any form of unpleasantness must go straight into the bin, but as Emmy reads the desperate pleas from women who may have gone too far with the wrong man or can't bear to let their children be evacuated, she decides to secretly write back. Dear Mrs. Bird is a love letter to the enduring power of friendship, the kindness of strangers, and the courage of ordinary people in extraordinary times. It is charming and delightful, as funny as it is heart-warming, and will be huge.

London, 1941.
Emmeline Lake and her best friend Bunty are trying to stay cheerful despite the Luftwaffe making life thoroughly annoying for everyone.
Emmeline dreams of becoming a Lady War Correspondent and when she spots a job advertisement in the newspaper, she seizes her chance.
But after a rather unfortunate misunderstanding, she finds herself typing letters for the formidable Henrietta Bird, the renowned agony aunt of Womans Friend magazine.
Mrs. Bird is very clear: letters containing any form of Unpleasantness must go straight into the bin.
But as Emmy reads the desperate pleas from women who may have Gone Too Far with the wrong man, or can't bear to let their children be evacuated, she decides the only thing for it is to secretly write back.
Irresistibly funny and enormously moving, Dear Mrs. Bird by AJ Pearce is a love letter to the enduring power of friendship, the kindness of strangers, and the courage of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
A marvellous treat.
Charming and delightful
