Praise
“Stratford’s novel effortlessly walks the line between hilarious and harrowing in her account of the tribulations of the victims of the blacklist – all told from a perspective that is unique and refreshing. And I simply adored the heroines Phoebe and Hannah, crafted from Stratford’s meticulous research and fabulous imagination.”—Fiona Davis, national bestselling author of The Chelsea Girls, on Red Letter Days
“Red Letter Days is a blacklist-era game of cat and mouse that’s positively Shakespearean in its witty dialogue, forged identities, banishments, unexpected romance, and even its drama within the drama. The final lightning-speed pages left me breathless.”—Kerri Maher, Author of The Girl in White Gloves, on Red Letter Days
“Fairly singing with tension and triumph…weaves fact and fiction into a tale that serves as entertainment, warning, reflection and homage wrapped up in one highly readable package.”—Greer Macallister, USA Today bestselling author of The Magician’s Lie and Woman 99, on Red Letter Days
“In this crisp novel, Stratford… effortlessly melds politics, romance, and history. This delivers on every level.”—Publishers Weekly, on Red Letter Days
“Red Letter Days is a look at a piece of American history told through the lens of two brave women, whose stories you won’t soon forget.”—PopSugar, on Red Letter Days
“[A] thoroughly fascinating and too-little-known story of Hannah Weinstein and her role in supporting blacklisted Americans, regardless of gender or race.”—Booklist (starred review), on Red Letter Days
“Well plotted and moving, with witty characters and an unnervingly timely storyline, Red Letter Days is smart, satisfying historical fiction at its best.”—Shelf Awareness, on Red Letter Days
“Stratford’s book is quick-paced and manages to balance background information and descriptive detail without weighing down the story…. the heart of the book is about friendship, professional ambition, and loyalty, and both Hannah and Phoebe are compelling, energetic heroines with fulfilling emotional arcs. A satisfying read with elements that are unnervingly relevant today.”—Historical Novel Society, on Red Letter Days
“A vivid portrayal of artistic life during the Red Scare and the challenges women screenwriters faced in the era’s entertainment industry. It is also a witty and harrowing tale of intrigue, friendship and romance. Stratford imbues the text with lively energy and a wry voice…. Red Letter Days is a timeless and relevant story about the dangers of bias, conformity and groupthink.”—BookTrib, on Red Letter Days
Praise for Radio Girls
