Red Letter Days
Book Feature - Red Letter Days by Sarah Jane Stratford
HBL Note: One of my favorite ways to learn about upcoming books is to follow authors on social media. They usually get ARCs (advanced reader copies) before book bloggers and long before the average reader. If you like anticipating novels coming out later in the year, then I encourage you to find your favorite authors on social media and start following them. One of my favorites for historical fiction is Fiona Davis, who is quoted right on the cover of Red Letter Days by Sarah-Jane Stratford. If you enjoyed Fiona Davis’ The Chelsea Girls, then I think you’re going to love Red Letter Days. Scroll down to read more.
From the publisher:
When two brave women flee from the Communist Red Scare, they soon discover that no future is free from the past.
Amid the glitz and glamour of 1950s New York, Phoebe Adler pursues her dream of screenwriting. A dream that turns into a living nightmare when she is blacklisted—caught in the Red Menace that is shattering the lives of suspected Communists. Desperate to work, she escapes to London, determined to keep her dream alive and clear her good name.
There, Phoebe befriends fellow American exile Hannah Wolfson, who has defied the odds to build a career as a successful television producer in England. Hannah is a woman who has it all, and is now gambling everything in a very dangerous game—the game of hiring blacklisted writers.
Neither woman suspects that danger still looms . . . and their fight is only just beginning.
