520 "A striking novel from the acclaimed author of Radio Girls
about two daring women who escape McCarthy-era Hollywood
for London, where they find creative freedom and fight the
injustices of the Red Scare. Nineteen-fifties America is
bright and full of promise, and Phoebe Adler, a New Yorker
brimming with talent and ambition, is forging her way as
the rarest of things: a female television writer in
Hollywood. But fears of a growing Red Menace cloud the
optimism, egged on by the hate-mongering of Senator
McCarthy. A blacklist is created to cast out communist
sympathizers, smashing careers and ruining lives. When
Phoebe finds herself caught in the hysteria's web, she
flees to London. Though postwar London is struggling and
work is precarious, Phoebe finds camaraderie with other
Americans living in exile, including the restless and
ambitious Hannah Wolfson. Determined to fight the
injustices of the Red Scare, Hannah is a successful
producer who hires blacklisted writers at great risk to
her career and company. Together Phoebe and Hannah
successfully fight unfair bias and sexism, but danger
still looms in this supposed sanctuary. And when their
families and friends--their very lives--are threatened,
they will have to make impossible choices"--|cProvided by
