520    "The Great War is over, and change is in the air, in this 
       novel that brings to life the exciting days of early 
       British radio ... and one woman who finds her voice while 
       working alongside the brilliant women and men of the BBC. 
       London, 1926. Canadian-born, but American-raised Maisie 
       Musgrave is thrilled to land a job as a secretary at the 
       upstart British Broadcasting Corporation, whose use of 
       radio--still new, strange, and electrifying--is 
       captivating the nation. But the hectic pace, smart young 
       staff, and intimidating bosses only add to Maisie's 
       insecurity. Soon, she is seduced by the work--gaining 
       confidence as she arranges broadcasts by the most famous 
       writers, scientists, and politicians in Britain. She is 
       also caught up in a growing conflict between her two 
       bosses, John Reith, the formidable Director-General of the
       BBC, and Hilda Matheson, the extraordinary director of the
       hugely popular Talks programming, who each have very 
       different visions of what radio should be. Under Hilda's 
       tutelage, Maisie discovers her talent, passion, and 
       ambition. But when she unearths a shocking conspiracy, she
       and Hilda join forces to make their voices heard both on 
       and off the air ... and then face the dangerous 
       consequences of telling the truth for a living. READERS
