Produktinformasjon
<b>For fans of Kate Quinn's <i>The Rose Code</i> and Jacqueline Winspear's <i>The Consequences of Fear</i> comes a gripping novel, set in post-WWII San Francisco, about a young female newspaper publisher and a story that could change the course of her city's future.</b> <p/>In the jubilant aftermath of Japan's surrender in World War II, San Francisco erupts in celebration. But for Sandy Zimmer, the thirty-two-year-old widow publisher of the <i>Prospect</i> newspaper, the revelry masks a darker truth. In the chaos of the VJ Day Peace Riot, eleven deaths and six rapes take place. <p/> Driven by journalistic integrity and battling her own instincts to maintain peace, Sandy directs her paper to investigate the riot. Her quest for truth pits her against formidable adversaries: her controlling civic-leader father-in-law, the newspaper's resistant board, and authorities desperate to bury the scandal as they vie to attract the United Nations Headquarters to San Francisco. <p/> Based on little-known historical events, <i>An Unlikely Prospect</i> follows Sandy's fight to find her voice in the male-dominated world of 1945 journalism. As she navigates power dynamics, gender roles, and the steep price of printing the truth, Sandy must confront her own transformation from a people-pleasing widow into a determined publisher willing to challenge the status quo.
