As a big fan of Dear Mrs. Bird, I was delighted to be able to read an advance copy of the sequel. To refresh my memory, since I read Dear Mrs. Bird 3 years ago, I skimmed it and once again really enjoyed it. I was equally thrilled with Yours Cheerfully. I was happy to read more about the original characters and liked the new ones introduced in this one. This book brought the historical period to life and raised issues not usually written about in other books covering this period of time. It was written in a way that made the book very exciting and suspenseful, and I flew through the book. I'm looking forward to the next installment and highly recommend the series.
