Radio Girls

The Great War is over, and change is in the air, in this novel that brings to life the exciting days of early British radioâ€¦and one woman who finds her voice while working alongside the brilliant women and men of the BBC.
Â
London, 1926. American-raised Maisie Musgrave is thrilled to land a job as a secretary at the upstart British Broadcasting Corporation, whose use of radioâ€”still new, strange, and electrifyingâ€”is captivating the nation. But the hectic pace, smart young staff, and intimidating bosses only add to Maisieâ€™s insecurity.
Â
Soon, she is seduced by the workâ€”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 Hildaâ€™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 airâ€¦and then face the dangerous consequences of telling the truth for a living.
