Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n A clever, surprising, and ultimately moving debut novel, set in a small Midwestern town in the early 1950s, about a nosy switchboard operator who overhears gossip involving her own family, and the unraveling that discovery sets into motion.<\/b><\/p>\n In a small town, everyone knows everyone else\u2019s business . . .<\/i><\/p>\n Nobody knows the people of Wooster, Ohio, better than switchboard operator Vivian Dalton, and she\u2019d be the first to tell you that. She calls it intuition. Her teenage daughter, Charlotte, calls it eavesdropping.<\/p>\n Vivian and the other women who work at Bell on East Liberty Street connect lines and lives. They aren\u2019t supposed to listen in on conversations, but they do, and they all have opinions on what they hear… especially Vivian. She knows that Mrs. Butler\u2019s ungrateful daughter, Maxine, still hasn\u2019t thanked her mother for the quilt she made, and that Ginny Frazier turned down yet another invitation to go to the A&,W with Clyde Walsh.<\/p>\n Then, one cold December night, Vivian listens in on a call between that snob Betty Miller and someone whose voice she can\u2019t quite place and hears something shocking. Betty Miller\u2019s mystery friend has news that, if true, will shatter Vivian\u2019s tidy life in Wooster, humiliating her and making her the laughingstock of the town.<\/p>\n Vivian may be mortified, but she isn\u2019t going to take this lying down. She\u2019s going to get to the bottom of that rumor\u2014get into it, get under it, poke around in the corners. Find every last bit. Vivian wants the truth, no matter how painful it may be.<\/p>\n But as Vivian is about to be reminded, in a small town like Wooster, one secret usually leads to another. . . ..
