Dear Mrs. Bird

How did I miss this one when it first came out? I ABSOLUTELY loved this charming and "light" WWII novel. Although on the lighter side there were definitely some sad and emotional moments.
The lead character Emmeline (Emmy) takes on a job at a woman's magazine (mistakenly thinking she is working for the prestigious London Evening Chronical.) She begins working for the overpowering Mrs. Bird who is an old-fashioned advice columnist. Emmy must weed thru all the letters that Mrs. Bird receives and only narrow down the "acceptable" ones to answer. This is a hard thing for her to do!
I listened to this book and the performance was outstanding! Emmy and all her friends were very likeable. I just loved A.J. Pearce's writing style! I am very excited to read the second book now!
p.s. I really enjoyed the author's afternotes about how the old 1940's magazines gave her the idea to write this charming story!

Glad you enjoyed it❤️"It was a good one...and on the lighter side. Thanks Marilyn. I hope you will enjoy it too!
Love this review, Tina! I thought this was a charmer too!
Excellent review, Tina! I absolutely loved this one, and the sequel, Cheerfully Yours, is now available on NetGalley as an ARC. I am about one third in and am laughing my head off. Sometimes sequels don't measure up, but this one promises to be equally good!!! Stay well, Tina!
