Yours Cheerfully
by AJ Pearce
Yours Cheerfully is the incredible sequel to Dear Mrs Bird in which AJ Pearce brings to light perhaps lesser-known narratives of the women left at home during WW2 but which are no less important than those fighting on the front line. We return to Emmy and Bunty only a few months down the line from where we left them, here Emmy navigates her way through her first journalistic assignments under the direction of the new editor, Mr Collins. Woman’s Friend has been commissioned by the government to help recruit women to the war effort, and as part of this, Emmy discovers that this is far more complex than simply getting women to sign up. Emmy is determined to help these women and this story shows what can be achieved when women stick up for each other.
Yours Cheerfully brings to life the voices of these young women who are determined to Do Their Bit to help win the war and as in the first book, it is an endearing and witty but emotional read, I laughed out loud in parts and had tears in my eyes in others. I loved Dear Mrs Bird, but I think Yours Cheerfully was even better, I adored this book, it is so incredibly well written and researched, humorous but with a seriousness to the message it communicates. I can’t recommend this series enough; I would love to read what happens next in Emmy’s life at Woman’s Friend. Thanks to NetGalley and Picador for a digital copy for review.
