'The sweetest, most uplifting, lovely book about courage, friendship, love' – Marian Keyes

London, 1941. Amid the falling bombs Emmeline Lake dreams of becoming a fearless Lady War Correspondent. Unfortunately, Emmy instead finds herself employed as a typist for the formidable Henrietta Bird, the renowned agony aunt at Woman’s Friend magazine. Mrs Bird refuses to read, let alone answer, letters containing any form of Unpleasantness, and definitely not those from the lovelorn, grief-stricken or morally conflicted.

But the thought of these desperate women waiting for an answer at this most desperate of times becomes impossible for Emmy to ignore. She decides she simply must help and secretly starts to write back – after all, what harm could that possibly do?

'A proper comfort read' – India Knight

'A joy from start to finish. Dear Mrs Bird is as funny as it is heartwarming' – John Boyne

Pressestimmen
A winning wartime romp . . . as hilarious as it is moving. Emmy is truly charming. When her upper lip finally wobbles, the reader’s will, too. In the end, the novel’s spirit is madly winning, and its foregrounding of wartime women seems spiffingly modern. (Guardian)

The sweetest, most uplifting, lovely book about courage, friendship, love . . . It'll be huge; it deserves to be

This story of female friendship is just the tonic for that jaded feeling that the world is ugly and mad. (The Times)

If I had only known how much I was going to adore Dear Mrs Bird, I wouldn’t have gobbled it down all at once. Funny, fresh, and touching, Dear Mrs Bird is a treat of a read. It has ruined me for all the books I’m supposed to be reading. Where will I find another novel so fresh and delightful?

A joyfully uplifting and optimistic novel . . . a timely story of courage and good humour in adversity. (Observer)

A marvellous treat. Charming and delightful.

When we need it most, Dear Mrs Bird is a wonderful, uplifting novel and, like its heroine, its breathless, giddy tone has real depth and heart. In the very worst of times, Britain’s ‘finest generation’ always found the light in the darkness, which is an important message worth remembering during our own worst times. (Red)

Here’s a refreshing take on the Second World War novel. Dear Mrs Bird is charming without being twee, full of fun and heart, and will being you to tears. (Stylist)

Dear Mrs Bird is an adorable novel, charming, funny, and uplifting . . . Catch a cold immediately and retire to bed with it

Irresistibly charming and delightful
