Raised never to step out of bounds, educated in one of the Sister Seven Colleges for a career as a wife and mother, torn between her cousin Mimi who is determined to keep her a \"nice girl\"--the kind that marries a doctor--and her aunt Rose who has a rebellious past of her own, Fanny struggles to raise her young daughter and forge a new life by sheer will and pluck. When she gets a job as a secretary to the \"queen\" of radio serials--never to be referred to as soaps--she discovers she likes working, and through her friendship with an actress who stars in the series and a man who writes them, comes face to face with the blacklist which is destroying careers and wrecking lives. Ultimately, Fanny must decide between playing it safe or doing what she knows is right in this vivid evocation of a world that seems at once light years away and strangely immediate.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEllen Feldman\u003c\/b\u003e, a 2009 Guggenheim fellow, is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Living and the Lost, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eParis Never Leaves You (translated into 13 languages)\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTerrible Virtue (\u003c\/i\u003eoptioned by Black Bicycle for a feature film), \u003ci\u003eThe Unwitting\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNext to Love\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScottsboro \u003c\/i\u003e(shortlisted for the Orange Prize), \u003ci\u003eThe Boy Who Loved Anne Frank\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLucy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.1 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 20, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52554141303091,"sku":"9781250879462","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/C5S3R2nSrf9781250879462.webp?v=1761123238","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-trouble-with-you-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
