DEAR MISS LAKE

From the author of the Sunday Times bestseller Dear Mrs Bird, Dear Miss Lake returns us to wartime London, where AJ Pearce’s much-loved heroine Emmy Lake is facing her final and greatest challenge yet. 

London, July 1944.

Journalist Emmy Lake’s career is soaring. Woman’s Friend magazine is a huge success, and she is finally realizing her dream of becoming a Lady War Correspondent. On the personal front, Emmy’s husband Charles has been posted closer to home, and they and their friends Bunty and Harold have escaped to the countryside for a few precious summer days. They all know how lucky they are.

But after nearly five years of war, the nation is struggling. The “Yours Cheerfully” advice column receives more letters than ever, and even though it looks like the war might finally be over by Christmas, the situation is far from resolved. For Emmy and her team, it’s all about pulling together and pushing on. But then disaster strikes. Soon Emmy finds herself facing her greatest battle yet.

In this, the final novel in The Wartime Chronicles series, now she needs her friends more than ever …

EARLY PRAISE FROM READERS ON NETGALLEY

  • It was so wonderful to be back in Emmy Lake’s world once again – this is a great addition to a brilliant series.

  • Enthralling, meticulously researched and vividly imagined…an enchanting new addition to the genre.

  • I enjoyed it immensely but as the last of the series I also hated the idea of leaving Emmy, Bunty and co behind. I’m now tempted to go back to the very beginning and read all four books again. Highly recommend.

  • The series has been a joy – tears and laughter – from start to finish.

  • Hardcore love for this series, big love to the author and for all the characters we’ve got to know over the years.
