London, November 1941. This book is the continuing story from Dear Mrs. Bird. Now, Emmeline Lake at Woman’s Friend magazine becoming a young wartime advice columnist. With growing pressure from the War Department for women to fill the jobs left open by the men who went to war, a growing number of woman band together to fight for what they need to be effective workers, like childcare. Powerful tale of what a society can achieve when women and men work in concert with one another.

This is the second book in the Emmy Lake Chronicles and it's a very sweet WWII series if you're looking for heartwarming books in the vein of 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society'. We've followed Emmy from the London Blitz to 1941 and the third book will take place in 1943. I'm eager to see this series continue!

I didn't love this one as much as I did Mrs. Bird, but I still enjoy this book. And, the cover is gorgeous! Something about this series, or maybe the characters, is so endearing. It's like you have visited this place before and it feels comforting. The way it ended, I feel like there should be another book in the Emmilne Chronicles, or at least I hope so!
***I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from the publisher through Edelweiss. Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.***
