The Great War is over, and change is in the air, in this novel that brings to life the exciting days of early British radio ... and one woman who finds her voice while working alongside the brilliant women and men of the BBC.

1926, the BBC. The nation listens. A woman finds her voice. London, 1926. Maisie Musgrave is thrilled to land a job at the fledgling British Broadcasting Corporation whose new and electrifying radio network is captivating the nation. Famous writers, scientists, politicians - the BBC is broadcasting them all, but behind the scenes Maisie is drawn into a battle of wills being fought by her two bosses.
