Résumé

Emmy Lake is most definitely Doing Her Bit for the war effort. The readers of her magazine, Woman's Friend, are facing the hardships of life on the Home Front and they need Emmy and her support more than ever. But when a glamorous new owner arrives at Woman's Friend, Emmy soon realises that the Honourable Mrs Porter could destroy everything. And then tragedy strikes. As Emmy's own happiness turns to devastation, she must ask herself if she can find the strength to keep going.
Can she save the magazine so many people love ? And can she weather her own heartbreak ?
AJ Pearce is the author of the beloved Wartime Chronicles, set in London during the Second World War. The first in the series, Dear Mrs Bird, was a Sunday Times bestseller, and was shortlisted for the British Book Awards Debut of the Year and the Historical Writers' Association Debut Crown Award. Dear Mrs Bird is followed by Yours Cheerfully and Mrs Porter Calling. AJ was inspired to write The Wartime Chronicles by a chance discovery of a 1939 women's magazine.
She now has a collection of over a thousand vintage magazines, and her books continue to celebrate the extraordinary lives, challenges and courage of women in Britain during the war.
