Yours Cheerfully (The Wartime Chronicles, 2)

Reviews

Emma's Biblio Treasures

Also, the story is set during the Second World War in Britain, which makes the plot even more unique. I thought it’d be a modern-day romance, but it was more slice-of-life. When you have a chipper, lighthearted story set in such a tumultuous and dark time, it is a real reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. I loved the audiobook so much that I immediately bought Mrs Porter Calling and started listening.

I loved all the new characters at the factory and finding out where they fit into the lives of Emmy and Bunty. I love historical fiction. 😊I like how the book highlights real issues for women at the time.

Bird. Without a nursery, it would be almost impossible for them to work.

"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. The other characters, particularly Emmy’s friends, are compelling, spirited and memorable, leaping from the page as much as Emmy did. And I couldn’t get enough. "Picking up where the previous book left off, we are back with Emmeline Lake in this marvellous sequel to Dear Mrs.

"There are women who stick up for each other, and women who don't. A joy from beginning to end, I would highly recommend it. With war still raging around them, she is determined to do all she can to help on the Home Front.

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. “I thought of Yours Cheerfully, there had certainly been letters about war work, but had I taken them seriously enough?

It was so nice to be back with Emmy and Bunty again, and the wonderful characters at Woman’s Friend magazine. Jaunty, vibrant, heartwarming and tender, Yours Cheerfully is a book you get lost in. Romance seems to be the most popular genre, but I really enjoyed reading this book about friendship.
