Today’s choices are for Dear Mrs Bird by AJ Pearce . We have three covers for you to choose from today. I would love to know in the comments below which you prefer. If you want to say why that would be SUPER.
The UK Hardcover

The USA Hardcover

The USA paperback

Back of the book – USA Style
This charming, irresistible debut novel set in London during World War II about a young woman who longs to be a war correspondent and inadvertantly becomes a secret advice columnist is “a jaunty, heartbreaking winner” (People)—for fans of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and Lilac Girls.
Emmeline Lake and her best friend Bunty are doing their bit for the war effort and trying to stay cheerful, despite the German planes making their nightly raids. 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.
Back of the book – UK Style
The Richard & Judy Book Club Pick and Sunday Times Bestseller
‘The sweetest, most uplifting, lovely book about courage, friendship, love’ Marian Keyes
London, 1941. Amid the falling bombs Emmeline Lake dreams of becoming a fearless Lady War Correspondent. Unfortunately, Emmy instead finds herself employed as a typist for the formidable Henrietta Bird, the renowned agony aunt at Woman’s Friend magazine. Mrs Bird refuses to read, let alone answer, letters containing any form of Unpleasantness, and definitely not those from the lovelorn, grief-stricken or morally conflicted.
But the thought of these desperate women waiting for an answer at this most desperate of times becomes impossible for Emmy to ignore. She decides she simply must help and secretly starts to write back – after all, what harm could that possibly do?
My favourite I think is the UK one this time around. I do like the others but the UK one appeals to me more.
There are no right or wrong answers just opinions and I would love to know yours.

I don’t like the USA hardcover at all, the other two I like equally.

I like the UK one probably because it’s the first I saw. I like the little detail of the stamp on it. I do quite like the style of the last one apart from the typewriter keys.

I agree, that is why I like the UK one. I love the colours too.

More often than not I tend to love UK covers more, but in this case I actually love the USA hardback – I’m a sucker for anything yellow and vintage feel and this ticks all those boxes 💛

Really don’t like those typewriter keys – Uk cover definitely my favourite…

Oh, this is really tricky. I like the UK and US hardcovers about equally. I think the UK cover suits the book better but I’d be more likely to pick up the US cover if I didn’t know anything about the book. The US paperback isn’t as good – the ladies in the background look too family saga-ish/generic WWI historical fiction for my liking, which doesn’t reflect the book at all.

I really like the US paperback, even though I have a copy of the UK hardback. I like it because it shows the era really well, whereas the others don’t really tell me much about the book at all.

I like the yellow one best. I love the typewriter keys and I just like the image and the colour.

I like the US paperback! That one draws me in more and has my interest peaked over all the others. If I was in the store I would pick it up and look at that one, but probably not of the other 2.

I really enjoyed this book – it was one of my 2018 favourites. As to the covers, I prefer the 3rd one, the US paperback cover. I’m one of those readers who usually prefers covers that look photographic rather than artful.
