It's a time when the growing threat of fascism in Europe is a constant worry, and people escape from reality through radio and the movies. Meanwhile, the two sisters -- vastly different in personality, yet inextricably linked by a shared past -- try to find their places within the complex web of social expectations for young women in the 1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Nora embarks on a glamorous career as a radio-soap opera star, Clara, a strong and independent-minded woman, struggles to observe the traditional boundaries of a small and tight-knit community without relinquishing her dreams of love, freedom, and adventure. However, things aren't as simple as they appear -- Nora's letters eventually reveal life in the big city is less exotic than it seems, and the tranquil solitude of Clara's life is shattered by a series of unforeseeable events. These twists of fate require all of Clara's courage and strength, and finally put the seemingly unbreakable bond between the sisters to the test.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107477471472,"sku":"9780061740459","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780061740459_p0.jpg?v=1769887858","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780061740459","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
