BEHIND EVERY GOOD MAN

Listeners will have a grand time with Helen Laser's vibrant narration of this lively audiobook about a modern woman who is navigating the political scene in 1962 Washington, DC. After catching her husband, Larry, cheating with his secretary, 27-year-old Beverly Diamond decides that going to work will allow her independence from Larry while she is divorcing him. Beverly, the daughter of a former congressman, approaches Michael Landau, a newcomer running for the U.S. Senate, offering her services as a political advisor. The twist is that Larry is the campaign manager for the incumbent rival senator. Laser magnificently crafts each strong-willed character, including feisty Beverly and her opinionated mother. Laser skillfully conveys the early '60s zeitgeist, especially the changing roles of women. M.J. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2025]
