The Radio Hour This has to be one of the most delightful books I have read in a while. In an era long gone, women’s work was mainly in the background and not appreciated as much of that of men. They were expected to be thankful to have a job at all.
Martha Berry was no exception. She was reliable, hard working, underpaid and accepting of her place in the national radio station.. there to bolster the egos of others.
Never more so than when a young clueless producer was hired to create a serial to follow the ever popular Blue Hills series. He had no idea, nor interest and was forever absent with a series to be conceived and written.. Martha to the rescue.. with no one any wiser, despite her daringly adding subjects that had never been spoken about on air.
Historical fiction beautifully portrayed.. it will leave you smiling and grateful to those who led the way.
I look forward to reading more of Victoria Purman’s novels.
