PositiveHistorical Novel SocietyLondon during the Blitz is a well-worn setting, but Pearce successfully brings a fresh perspective by placing Emmy, Bunty, and their concerns centre stage. The women are charming. Their stories weave together episodes of romance, family and friendship set against the pressures and tragedies of German air raids ... Inspired by actual Agony Aunt columns from wartime magazines, she’s given us a fun read ... expect Emmy and her jolly adventure to make some noise.
