catsim 's review for:

Dear Mrs. Bird by AJ Pearce
4.0

A young woman gets a job at a women’s magazine, mistakenly thinking it was for a well-respected newspaper company. She begins secretly writing letters to readers who are seeking advice when the resident advice columnist refuses to do so because they are the ‘wrong sort’. Set in London during World War 2, it looks at the lives of women on the homefront and all they must contend with from daily bombings to more traditional relationship problems. It addresses the gravity of wartime London (without being too graphic) with lots of humor throughout.

I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Historical Fiction isn’t totally my thing, but I’m trying to read more of it, and this was a great choice to start with. It was lovely. And the audiobook narration was very well done.
