This is a sweet book, second in a series about a young British woman during WW 2. She is a writer at a women's magazine and gets involved with female workers in a munitions factory. It's full of lovely people and patriotism and friendship and is possibly the ideal gift for the person in your life who wants 'clean' books to read. No real cursing, no sex, just lots of love and angst. Also reality, because the story ends on a sentimental high note, but you can't really call it a happy ending.

The author's previous book, [b:Dear Mrs. Bird|36373413|Dear Mrs. Bird|A.J. Pearce|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1515690904l/36373413._SY75_.jpg|81085892], was one of my favorite reads of 2019. When I realized she had another title coming out, I knew I had to read it. It was just as enjoyable as the first book. I highly recommend it, along with others of that genre that have come out in the past few years.

The very lovely sequel to Mrs Bird, just as gloriously wholesome and... well, cheerful, as the first, despite the wartime setting and sometimes grim events.

Another charming, funny, witty and endearing book. About having the courage to fight for getting working mothers exactly what they need to be able to work and a lovely tale about friendships, love and marriage in time of war. This book will leave you smiling, laughing and crying. A brilliant book.
