A charming, lighthearted WWII novel? Yes, it’s possible.
In the third book of the Emmy Lake series, we find the young journalist and her co-workers up against a new challenge: A new owner who wants to change everything about the magazine. At home, a friend and her children move in, while Emmy’s husband is away at war.
The author keeps a light touch while covering a time period that was quite difficult for those living it. The characters do face very real challenges, but they also carry on with love and community and compassion for each other.
I’m totally invested in these characters and hope for another installation in this series to come soon.
