Set during the McCarthy era, we meet three women.
Melanie has been blacklisted because she was seen with a producer that they think is a communist.
Eva is a Polish housekeeper for Melanie.
June lives next door to Melanie and is taking care of her brother-in-law who won’t come out of his house because of an accident he caused a while ago.
The odd thing is that June won’t let anybody see Elwood, and it’s a puzzle where an agoraphobic person would go.
Elwood must be there because Melanie hears a typewriter clicking.
How will these women - all with secrets - become connected?
A MAP TO PARADISE started out slowly for me, but once the background information of each character was revealed and their predicaments were revealed, I enjoyed a thoughtful, well-researched read. 4/5
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
