A Post Office Christmas y Poppy Cooper


1915. After the recent dramatic events at the Post Office's Home Depot, Milly Woods is looking forward to spending as much time as possible with her best friends Liza and Nora. With Christmas fast approaching, their job of getting millions of letters and parcels to the troops on the front line is more important than ever.

I've read her first one in this series and this is a perfect follow on. Having said that , you could read this as a stand alone , although you may miss out a little on the friendship / dynamics a tiny bit.
As ever the author writes perfectly about the era that makes you feel you have a little window to peer though to watch the lives of these wonderful characters. A gentle cosy , love in a hug read.

Fantastic sequel and was great to catch up with the girls. They had a very exciting time in this instalment and a very important visit as well. Loving the time spent with the post office girls and look forward to future books it’s the rest of their adventures during ww2.
Excellently written A*

I absolutely loved the first book in the series and I loved this just as much, if not a bit more.

This books follows Molly. She's been moved to the sorting department and feels very much on the outside, even with Liza and Nora is strained. After being attacked in the street she became friends with two sisters from the ELFS suffragette group. Together they plot to put the wrongs of the country right.

I enjoyed reading more about the suffragette movement and was both shocked and pleasantly surprised with how much they did, especially the good side. I never knew about the separation payment and how easily it could be taken away. Such a fantastic read, I re-read the first book so I have had a wonderful few days with the girls and wow, what a thrilling ride this was. I was actually holding my breath towards the end.

Hoping there is more to come from this series

It's Christmas season in 1915 and Beth, Nora and Milly are back! This time we get Milly's perspective and further insight into her life. Her family dynamic is fascinating (I love Ma) and her circle of friends is loyal. We meet new friends and characters as well and learn about various job duties in the Army Post Office Home Depot in London, different from those in the first book. The mix of the old and new is lovely and fresh and continually pulls me in.

Feisty Milly is transferred to a different department at work and she must adjust to her duties and co-workers. She continues involvement in the suffragette movement and her mis(adventures) teach her how to interact and cope as she suffers from foot-in-mouth disease. But we also see her softer side which endears her to me.

Reading this book was like sharing tea and catching up on gossip with old friends, comfortable and homey. But it has the added benefit of learning more about how post was sorted before it became machinated. These details contribute to creating a realistic and enjoyable read. As in life, the story is not all roses. There are thorns in the way of challenges and heartache. The author has a wonderful way with words and I am intrigued by her personal inspiration. The cover is sweet and the last sentence has me wondering about what is to come! Maybe I'm overthinking it but there is a plethora of possibilities.

Historical Fiction , Women's Fiction and General readers ought to read this heartwarming series.

My sincere thank you to Hodder & Stoughton for the privilege of reading this delightful book. I adored it!

A Post Office Christmas by Poppy Cooper is an excellent WWI-era historical fiction saga that is the second book in the wonderful Post Office Girls series.

This is such a wonderful series, and the sequel is even better than its predecessor. I loved returning to the Home Depot Military Post Office. This book starts immediately where the previous ended, however one does not need to read the first book to enjoy this one, but still recommended…because it is enjoyable!

I enjoyed visiting 1915, and an era that is not delved into as much as other wartime periods. Learning more about the postal services during this time was fascinating. I never knew how intricate the jobs and duties were to be able to get the soldiers and their families their packages and mail.

I also enjoyed the characters of Milly, Nora, and Elizabeth. Their friendships and dynamics, along with the full character cast, were heartwarming, realistic, and they are strong female characters. This book focussed on Milly Woods, while the previous focussed on Elizabeth (Liz). I liked how there were citizens from every area/walk of life that come together to do their part for King and Country.

I liked the plot, the obstacles, and the eventual satisfying ending.

I highly recommend this series to any historical fiction and historical saga fan. I hope the books continue onwards and look forward to the next one.

5/5 stars

Thank you NG and Hodder & Stoughton for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon, Instagram, and B&N accounts upon publication on 11/25/21.

Oh I so enjoyed the first book and this second book is so uplifting and enjoyable to read.
I loved the new characters added in and who does not enjoy a Christmas read this time of year.
The Post Office Girl's are Beth, Nora and Milly working at Regent Park London, this book is focus on Milly Woods from Bow East London, who is now working at the home depot and meets new friends Hilda and Elsie who are ELFS Suffragettes and opens a whole new world for Milly.
Her friendship with Jack Archer gets more intense could it turn into a courtship for them both?
as this book unfolds we find Milly going through a lot of ups and downs and challengers along the way. Its one truly magical story as well that readers are going to love until the next time I so hope there is more books to follow in the coming year. 5***** from me.

Poppy Cooper has written another wonderful saga book two in the series.I sat down in my favorite reading chair made a cup of tea and began reading.I was immediately swept into this lovely series the characters their lives.Highly recommend #netgalley#h&sbooks.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I loved the first book this series.

Molly is the main character in this book. She’s now moved to the sorting department and is feeling left out, even her relationship with Liza and Nora isn’t going well.

She’s attacked, whilst walking home after a meeting with the ELFS suffragette group. Two sisters save her from things going to far, and Molly becomes friends with them. The three decide to put right the wrongs that have been done to people.

It was interesting to read more about the suffragette movement, some was a surprising read and some shocking with what they did, more so the good.

Reading and learning about what was the separation payment, how quickly it was taken from the ones left behind, was interesting.

This is a brilliant read, the plot to put right the wrongs, had me holding my breath, to see if it was actually going to happen and the consequences.

I do hope there is more to come from this series.

Highly Recommend This Series.

Been looking forward to reading this, another fabulous instalment, such great characters and a gripping story. I'm really looking forward to more in this series.

The Post office Christmas by Poppy Cooper is the second novel in the series, and it is an excellent follow up to the previous one.
The Post office girls is about Milly, Nora and Lizzy working at the Home Depot post office in 1915 in Regents Park London. This is centred around Milly who feels isolated when she is transferred from one department to another by her supervisor Miss Parker. She wonders what she has done wrong, she also misses Nora and Lizzy even though their relationship is a bit strained at present.
She meets Hilda and Elsie who are new to the Home depot and also members of the ELFS Suffragettes. Milly has always been feisty and outspoken and now has been given the chance by joining them to help get more rights for women. This opens a new life for Milly and new opportunities for her, but they are not all good ones. Her family worry that she is going to be led astray.
Thanks Hodder and Stoughton for a copy of The Post office Christmas. This is an excellent sequel to the previous book showing not only the lives of the women who worked at the Home Depot but around the time of 1915. But also, the story of Milly and the ups and downs of her life and her fighting for the cause. This is another endearing and realistic story with a great plot and shows that it doesn’t matter where you live or from you have the same opportunities as everyone else. You just have to fight for it. Five stars from me.

This is book 2 in the post office girls saga by Poppy Cooper. It is based in 1915 and the 3 friends have new challenges whilst working in the postal service delivering letters to the troops and forwarding mail to the soldiers families.
Will they stay friends? And how will they cope with the challenges they face.?
Another excellent read.

Thanks to#NetGalley for the advance copy in return for an honest review.

I was absolutely thrilled to see that book 2 was out in these series, especially as it’s a Christmas themed one too.
I just love the feel of this series and I’m so quickly thrown back in time as I imagine the setting so easily due to how well this author describes each scene, and even the clothing and the hairstyles of the female characters. I said this about Poppy Cooper’s first book, and I’ll say it again, that this book makes me want to go back in time just so I could hang out with Milly as she’s such a lovely character.
This storyline contains a great mix of what I love in a good story ….drama, happiness, sadness, romance and deep rooted female friendships… for me, it has a little bit of everything just in the right amount.
If you like a bit of light hearted Historical Fiction then I’d definitely recommend this series.

4.5, rounding up to 5. Another wonderful read by Poppy Cooper. It was great to catch up with The Post Office Girls again. Having this book told from Millie's perspective had me hooked. I loved her. She came so far from the first book. her relationship with Jack brought a smile to my face. A real dramatic book in places and overall, left me wanting more. It's not the most festive book I've read though, not sure if it should be marketed as a Christmas read. I hope there is a follow up book focusing on Nora.

I enjoyed the first in this series and worried whether I would like this as much but I did enjoy it.

It was lovely to have some of the same characters from the first book and learn more about them and how life has been treating them.

Another great book from Poppy Cooper. A slow romance packed with the day to day little things that made up life during the war. An excellent exposée of the real grind of daily life in London for the people who were only a couple of streets away from being destitute and yet who have a longing for love.
