Dear Mrs. Bird is an engaging and warm first novel. Readers who enjoyed The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society are almost certain to rate this book highly. Mrs. Bird is an out of touch editor at a woman’s magazine during WW II who is responsible for the agony column. Sadly, she deems most letters “unsuitable” for answering. Enter Emmy; young, naive, and trying to cope with bombs and disasters in London. She begins to answer letters as Mrs. Bird and you need to read the book to learn what happens. This novel at first seemed like it would be light but it has substance. Themes of love, friendship and how to relate to others all have their place. I highly recommend Dear Mrs. Bird! I would like to write her a fan letter. Thanks for this read NetGalley.

It does not come out until the summer. I received an advanced reader copy. I came late to the Guernsey….but loved it when I read it.

I never get to books until they’ve been out for months, so I’m not worried having to wait. And yes, I was late to Guernsey as well. I only read it last year.

Sounds lovely! Also, I’ve been told The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society is being made into a movie (if not already!) and I always hope people read the book first.
