OPERATOR: A Novel Paperback – Import, 16 March 2021

Definitely a good book, highly recommend. I will read it again.

The sort of storyline that makes you realise you were born too late. Beautifully written. Updated my curse word collection to include “sakes alive”

I'm a sucker for historical fiction, and the 1950's might be my favorite decade (based on traditions, decor, holiday style, fashion, etc). I was also drawn to the character's profession, having served as an operator for AT&T in 1988! Not quite the same as Vivian having to connect everyone due to how the phones were set up, but in a way I recalled similar reactions to those who did call.I really enjoyed the development of characters, and when it is revealed what the town secret/gossip of Vivian's family is, I was completely surprised! Nothing in the story had given any hint as to what it might be, which kept me turning the page just to get to that reveal.The author's details in the setting and time the story occurs gave me a great picture as I read.

Entertaining - which is exactly what a book should be.

I read the book with delight. Very good book, very good story. DOWNSIDE, too much cursing. Unnecessary cursing to tell the story, italicized too! It was so bothersome, my eyes would have to skip the italicized curse words.
