Dear Mrs Bird, Paperback

A funny debut novel set in 1940s London. Emmeline Lake finds herself typing letters for the renowned agony aunt of Woman's Friend magazine, Henrietta Bird. The message is clear: any letter containing unpleasantness must go, but soon the thought of unanswered women becomes too much to bear and Emmeline secretly writes back. A love letter to female friendship, Blitz spirit, the kindness of strangers and the art of letter-writing itself.
