It was so wonderful to be back in Emmy Lake's world once again - this is a great addition to a brilliant series and definitely well worth a read.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

I was delighted to receive an advance copy of this latest book in the Miss Lake series. Thank you to the publisher and net galley.
The writing style is excellent and the reader feels they are in the 1940s England. The characters are well-observed and relatable. It was especially interesting to read about Prisoners of War and their families; a subject I’d not read a lot about previously, my main reference having been the Colditz series of the 1970s.
At the beginning of the book I wondered what more could be written about the war and I was pleasantly surprised that there were many new subjects tackled, including a visit to Brussels.
I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Dear Miss Lake’ and would highly recommend it to others.

This is such a lovely heart warming series.
The characters do begin to feel like old friends.
It's good that as much as they have going on in their own lives, there's still a magazine to be run.
At times I felt this book was too busy, cramming in so many topics relevant to the war, but the war was not a time when little happened, so it's to be expected.
Some very very lovely moments in here.
You definitely get the best of it by reading previous books.

Sometimes you get a new book and it jumps right to the top of a huge ‘to be read’ pile. I could not wait to get my hands on Dear Miss Lake by AJ Pearce and I stayed up very late reading it last night. It was very special. Like getting together with an old friend that you love but haven’t seen for a while.
I was entertained, happy, sad and gripped, but mostly just delighted to meet up with Emmy Lake again.
I have loved the series and .while this can ‘stand alone’ I 100% recommend you read the authors other books. You have a treat in store.
No hesitation in giving this gem of a novel Five Stars.
Just need to see it on telly now…
ps - You are golng to need a lot of tissues
