From the author of the international bestseller Dear Mrs. Bird, the immensely satisfying conclusion to a delightful quartet of novels set in London during World War II.
London, July 1944. Editor Emmy Lake's career is soaring: Woman's Friend magazine is a huge success, and she is finally realizing her dream of becoming a War Correspondent. On the personal front, Emmy's husband Charles has been posted closer to home, and her good friends Bunty and Harold are planning their summer wedding in the countryside. They all know how lucky they are.
But after nearly five years of war, the nation is struggling with loss, deprivation, and fear. The "Yours Cheerfully" advice column receives more letters than ever, and even though there are high hopes for the war to finally be over by Christmas, the situation is far from resolved. And soon Emmy will find herself in her greatest battle yet, forced to rally her community and keep her own spirits up even when fearing the worst.
Endearing, engaging, and full of heart, Dear Miss Lake is a testament to the saving power of friendship when all seems lost.
