I listened to the audio on this and thought the narrator did a great job. The book is a little bit of a different story line of post-ww2 women trying to navigate jobs in the 40s/50s after being widowed while gender roles were sort of stuck in the past but opportunities were opening. I think the conflict of that was well done between Fannie, Ezra and others’ perspectives. The Blacklisting and anti-communist witch hunt was also crazy and well portrayed. I sort of wish more of that was in the book. 

Overall the book was a little slow and the romance predictable, but I enjoyed the story nonetheless. 

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this audiobook. All opinions are mine.
