Dear Mrs Bird by A.J. Pearce

5.0

I read this book in one sitting as it is such a great read. Living in London through WW2 Emmy aspires to be a journalist and is excited when she lands herself a job with a newspaper only to discover that there is a misunderstanding and she is employed as a typist to Mrs Bird who writes the advice column for the newspaper’s failing sister magazine. Mrs Bird is set in her ways and Emmy soon starts pushing the boundaries by answering the incoming letters herself. Will she be discovered? This book captures the effects of the blitz so well and walks us through the terror and pain experienced by so many but somehow manages to remain comforting and cheery. Thank you to Pan Macmillan for providing me with a free copy of this book for an honest review.
