From the author of the bestselling "jaunty, heartbreaking winner"
(People) Dear Mrs. Bird comes a charming and irresistible novel
featuring plucky aspiring journalist Emmy Lake as she navigates
life, love, and friendship in London during World War II. London,
April 1943. A little over a year since she married Captain Charles
Mayhew and he went away to war, Emmy Lake is now in charge of
"Yours Cheerfully," the hugely popular advice column in Woman's
Friend magazine. Cheered on by her best friend Bunty, Emmy is
dedicated to helping readers face the increasing challenges brought
about by over three years of war. The postbags are full and Woman's
Friend is thriving. But Emmy's world is turned upside down when
glamorous socialite, the Honorable Mrs. Cressida Porter, becomes
the new publisher of the magazine, and wants to change everything
the readers love. Aided by Mrs. Pye, a Paris-obsessed fashion
editor with delusions of grandeur, and Small Winston, the grumpiest
dog in London, Mrs. Porter fills the pages with expensive clothes
and frivolous articles about her friends. Worst of all, she
announces that she is cutting the "Yours Cheerfully" column and her
vision for the publication's future seems dire. With the stakes
higher than ever, Emmy and her friends must find a way to save the
magazine that they love. Heartwarming, funny, and joyfully
uplifting, the third novel in the Emmy Lake Chronicles is a moving
tribute to friendship and overcoming adversity.
