About this listen

A heart-warming, heart-wrenching wartime story about friendship and courage from AJ Pearce, the bestselling author of Dear Mrs Bird.

'Utterly charming and uplifting' – Jill Mansell

Emmy Lake is the much-loved agony aunt at Woman’s Friend magazine, relied upon by readers across the country as they face the challenges of life on the Home Front. With the problem page thriving and a team of fantastic women behind her, Emmy finally feels she is Doing Her Bit.

But when a glamorous new owner arrives, everything changes. As the Honourable Mrs Porter tries to charm her way around the rest of the team, Emmy realizes that she plans to destroy everything readers love about the magazine.

With happiness quickly turning to heartbreak and war still raging in Europe, will Emmy and her friends find the inner strength they need to keep keeping on - and save the magazine they love?

As strong as the second book in this series. The author manages to write a story that is cosy and entertaining but also brings alive some of the trials of wartime London. That's a very skilful balancing act. The heroine is very appealing, as are the other characters. They are a plucky bunch who manage through thick and thin, and are a bit of an inspiration for our times. Excellent narrator. Recommended.

Wonderful story of love, loss and magazines in wartime London
