I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
What a great start to my reading year this book made! I hadn't heard of Victoria Purman or this book before, but I was intrigued to find out more about radio broadcasting in post-war Australia. I never expected to have this book worm its way into my heart and make me feel empowered to forge my own path with courage. Martha and all the other secretaries and actors at the ABC are wonderfully realized and, just like Martha's episodes of As the Sun Sets, their experiences highlight such important issues that, sadly, we are still facing today. This book is approachable and inspiring and I would be happy to read similar books by Purman in the future.
