Emmy dreams of becoming a Lady War Correspondent, and when she spots a job advertisement in the newspaper she seizes her chance; but after a rather unfortunate misunderstanding, she finds herself typing letters for the formidable Henrietta Bird, renowned advice columnist of Woman's Friend magazine. Mrs. Bird is very clear: letters containing any Unpleasantness must go straight into the bin. But as Emmy reads the desperate pleas from women who many have Gone Too Far with the wrong man, or can't bear to let their children be evacuated, she begins to secretly write back to the readers who have poured out their troubles. 650 0 $a Advice columnists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z London $z London $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Best friends $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a War stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 800 1 $a Pearce, A.
