As you all know, I'm a sucker for historical fiction, so I was grateful when partner, St. Martin's Press, sent me this one-of-a-kind, gifted WWII novel - thank you so much!
This particular story follows Fanny Fabricant during the period of the Red Scare and McCarthyism just after WWII. I've always wanted to know more about this time period, and of course, after having read this novel, down the rabbit hole I went!
This was a unique representation of a woman who was unable to follow societal conventions due to unforseen circumstances, but also learned first-hand how misinformation and fear mongering can break apart a people. Ellen Feldman shared a singular story that represented the many women whose lives took a different turn after WWII and had to manage their lives during a time when many innocent people were targets.
I recommend you read this one if you appreciate WWII historical fiction with a strong female protagonist and a unique storyline!
