Yours Cheerfully (The Wartime Chronicles, 2)

I loved the audiobook so much that I immediately bought Mrs Porter Calling and started listening. I thought it’d be a modern-day romance, but it was more slice-of-life.

After loving the first book in this series I had been meaning to pick up this sequel since it was released. Britain needed women to start working during the Second World War, but most women had children.

"Picking up where the previous book left off, we are back with Emmeline Lake in this marvellous sequel to Dear Mrs. Emmy is required to write positively about the factory job in order to recruit more women, but she sees Anne’s struggles as a widowed working mum of two. 😊I like how the book highlights real issues for women at the time.

And as much as I enjoyed revisiting the characters from book one, there were some great additions to the cast that were vital in making this book so special. "One of my favourite elements of this book was its cast of strong female characters, including the protagonist who is at the heart of this story. I wanted to see how Emmy and Anne would bring the changes needed to make it possible for women with children to be able to work.

So I was thrilled when i got the opportunity to read "Yours Cheerfully" before publication day, after reading "Dear Mrs Bird" which by the way I loved. The other characters, particularly Emmy’s friends, are compelling, spirited and memorable, leaping from the page as much as Emmy did.

It was great to be back with her and watch her blossom in both her personal and private life but it was the themes of female friendship and women supporting and uplifting other women that I enjoyed most of all. A joy from beginning to end, I would highly recommend it. I picked up this book from the library in a rush because of its cute cover.
