Dear Miss Lake

A Novel

By: AJ Pearce

Narrated by: Anna Popplewell

“It’s hard to accept that this is the end of the Emmy Lake series, but if there has to be an end, let it be this one: Dear Miss Lake. Sheer joy!” —Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry

Plucky wartime advice columnist Emmy Lake discovers that sometimes it takes losing everything to find what we need most.

London, July 1944. After nearly five years of war, the readers of Woman’s Friendmagazine are relying on the support of Emmy Lake and her team more than ever. With the city under attack, the magazine staff decamps to the countryside for the summer. Determined to help the women of Britain carry on, Emmy and friends are hard at work finding new ways to inspire resilience.

With her army officer husband Charles posted close to home, and best friend Bunty by her side, Emmy happily throws herself into rural life, juggling children, magazine assignments, and plans for a very important wedding. And then a call comes that means she may finally fulfill her long-held dream of becoming a war correspondent.

But when disaster strikes, Emmy needs her friends, her community, and her readers more than ever. Filled with courage and compassion, a lovable cast of characters, and winning wartime details, Dear Miss Lake is an enormously uplifting testament to the power of friendship and hope.

A fan of this series

Need is say more ?! Started with a book version but I must add I enjoy the audio more because the narrator is delightful with her Brit accent and she’s is very easy to understand. I recommend starting with the first book in the series. “Dear Mrs. Bird” there are four so far. Well done AJ Pearce

very detailed dialog

I love the characters, new and old brought over from "Dear Mrs Bird". Though fictional, this novel held true to events in Britain during WWII. it is easy to relate to. no matter what generation you are in.

Just fantastic!

Loved the entire series and the final book was excellent. Tugged at the heartstrings, tied up all the loose ends, just delightful.

A Delightful Reminder

Sadly, this is the final book in the series. It has been a trip back in time and a reminder of the strength and contribution of women in England during WWII.

outstanding
