London 1940, bombs are falling. Emmy Lake is Doing Her Bit for the war effort, volunteering as a telephone operator with the Auxiliary Fire Services. When Emmy sees an advertisement for a job at the London Evening Chronicle, her dreams of becoming a Lady War Correspondent seem suddenly achievable. But the job turns out to be typist to the fierce and renowned advice columnist, Henrietta Bird. Emmy is disappointed, but gamely bucks up and buckles down. Mrs Bird is very clear: Any letters containing Unpleasantness must go straight in the bin. But when Emmy reads poignant letters from women who are lonely, may have Gone Too Far with the wrong men and found themselves in trouble, or who can’t bear to let their children be evacuated, she is unable to resist responding. As the German planes make their nightly raids, and London picks up the smouldering pieces each morning, Emmy secretly begins to write letters back to the women of all ages who have spilled out their troubles. Prepare to fall head over heels with Emmy and her best friend, Bunty, who are spirited and gutsy, even in the face of events that bring a terrible blow. As the bombs continue to fall, the irrepressible Emmy keeps writing, and readers are transformed by AJ Pearce’s hilarious, heart-warming and enormously moving tale of friendship, the kindness of strangers, and ordinary people in extraordinary times. |

The orange dot is the place to stand, the blue line is where the moon rises and as it gets higher in the sky it will move over the harbour bridge. When taking the moon shutter speeds need to be about 1/300 of a second as the moon moves quickly. If you have a Zoom lens it will be an ideal time to bring it along. The other key thing to do when taking the moon is to drop the exposure / brightness down two stops, experiment with the exposure / brightness. The supermoon can be taken anywhere, try and take your photograph when it’s very low in the sky as it will look huge. |
