About this listen
Comforting, charming and hilarious, Yours Cheerfully is the tonic we've all been waiting for, from AJ Pearce, the beloved author of Dear Mrs Bird.
‘Loved. Every. Word.' - Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry
London, September 1941. For plucky, determined Emmy Lake, working at Woman’s Friend magazine has become everything she dreamed, especially since the departure of the magazine’s formidable editor, Henrietta Bird. Now Emmy really can get on and Do Her Bit.
When the Ministry of Information calls on Woman’s Friend to help recruit female supporters to the war effort, Emmy is thrilled, but soon she and best friend Bunty meet a young woman who shows them the real challenges that women war workers face. Suddenly Emmy must tackle a life-changing dilemma: should she carry out her duty or stand by her friends?

Just like Dear Mrs Bird, this is totally jolly hockey sticks but with such substance. The characters show immense resilience and caring and I love the determination, strength and overall good natured positivity.

Full of grace and courage
This is a very good book and the narrator is sublime taking us back in time, showing us the difficulties faced by women taking on mens roles. It also returns us to the time when opinions were voiced with grace and charm whilst still being forceful, instead of the awful aggression used on social media nowadays. Gentle but determined and stoic… thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking.

Yours Cheerfully
A very successful sequel although it can be read independently of the first book, Dear Mrs Bird.
I really enjoyed listening to this. The characters are relatable and you get a feeling of camaraderie, war time spirit and the devotion of good friendships.
Highly recommended.

Great 2nd book in the series
I think this one was better than the first, characters felt more developed and likeable. I enjoyed and can't wait to start the third in the series

Lovely sequel!
This is a continuation of the delightful Dear Mrs Bird which continues to recreate life in WW2 from the perspective of a young woman journalist. It is a lovely mixture of war story, social commentary and romance. The dialogue and manners reflect the times beautifully. It finishes in Christmas 1942, so there MUST be a third book on the way - I do hope so!
