An absolute gem of a tale! Plucky Emmy, jilted and humiliated, juggles a new job, an awesome friendship, and a fledgling romance all while volunteering for the war effort during the London blitz. But then her world takes a dive and Emmy scrambles to make things right once again. The historical element is fascinating, and Emmy is one of those characters you simply cannot get enough of. Great story that is perfect for the big screen. 4.5 stars.
Dear Mrs. Bird by AJ Pearce balances the adventures of a young woman against a story set in wartime London. It is a light-hearted story of friendship, social outings, conversations about bosses, and family. It is also a serious and often heartbreaking story of war and the death and destruction it brings. Ultimately, Dear Mrs. Bird is a story of friendship. It seems odd to characterize a book set in the middle of wartime London as sweet, but that is the note this book strikes.

was ok, story kind of meandered all over the place. Not a lot of depth.
