Publisher's summary

Set in New York City in the heady aftermath of World War II, when the men were coming home, the women were exhaling in relief, and everyone was having babies, The Trouble with You is the story of Fanny Fabricant, whose rosy future is upended in a single instant. Educated for a career as a wife and mother, she is torn between her cousin Mimi, who is determined to keep her a “nice girl,” and her aunt Rose, who has a rebellious past of her own.

Forging a new life, she gets a job in radio serials. Then through her friendship with an actress who stars in and a man who writes the series, she comes face-to-face with the blacklist, which is wrecking lives.

Ultimately, Fanny must decide between playing it safe or doing what is right in this vivid evocation of a world that seems at once light-years away and strangely immediate.

“Wonderful . . . An ode to the power, resilience, and ambition of women everywhere in any era.” —Jessica Anya Blau, author of Mary Jane

Excellent!

Excellent story and narrator. I didn’t want it to end. This is far and away the best book I have listened to in a long while and I listen every day. I loved it!
