From the author of the jaunty heartbreaking winner (People) and international bestseller Dear
Mrs. Bird comes a charming and uplifting novel set in London during World War II about a plucky
young journalist and her adventures as wartime advice columnist. London November 1941.
Following the departure of the formidable Henrietta Bird from Woman's Friend magazine things
are looking up for Emmeline Lake as she takes on the new challenges as a wartime advice
columnist. Her relationship with boyfriend Charles is blossoming while Emmy's best friend
Bunty still reeling from the very worst of the Blitz is bravely looking to the future.
Together the friends are determined to Make a Go of It. When the Ministry of Information calls
on Britain's women's magazines to help recruit female workers to the war effort Emmy is
thrilled to step up and help. But when she and Bunty meet a young mother who shows them the
very real challenges that women war workers face Emmy must confront a dilemma between doing
her duty and standing by her friends. As funny heartwarming and touching as Dear Mrs. Bird
Yours Cheerfully is an endearing portrait of female friendship and a fruitful exploration of
the solidarity among women in times of grief love and hardship (Publishers Weekly).
