Anna Hastings

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times–bestselling author, “an unsparing and sympathetic portrait of a newspaperwoman” set in the 1940s–1970s(The Wall Street Journal).

The riveting tale of one woman’s journey and her rise to power. Anna Hastings, the story of a female journalist whose career begins just as the United States is getting into World War II, gives readers an inside glimpse into the workings of journalism in Washington. Pulitzer Prize–winning author Allen Drury takes his own experience in the field to reflect on the state of journalism in the capitol. In contrast to his other books, notably Advise and Consent, he humanizes the very field he often calls into question. Anna Hastings is a magnificent novel, shown through the eyes of vivid, fascinating, and humanly likable characters, from a master of spellbinding political fiction.
