The Radio Hour by Victoria Purman
emotional
3.75
Big Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for the advanced copy!!
'The Radio Hour' is a historical slice of life with a feminist undertone.
The story is pretty unique but interesting at the same time. The main character represents a lot of women, even at this time, as she struggles to establish herself at her workplace. The subject was also quite interesting, with the radio show being smoothly embedded into the main story and it was nice to see how Martha's life inspired her show. The rest of the characters were also pretty endearing (well not Everyone!)
One thing that didn't sit with me, however, was the time jumps that got me confused more than once during my listening of the audiobook and I often wondered if I skipped a chapter, as things moved on off page more than once.
Finally, the audiobook was nicely narrated.
