Clara Callan

by Richard B. Wright

Corren los años treinta y dos hermanas, Clara y Nora Callan, se enfrentan al futuro con tanta esperanza como incertidumbre. Clara, una maestra de escuela treintañera que vive en un pueblo pequeño de Ontario, echa en falta el amor y la aventura. Nora, su hermana menor, frívola y bella, huye a la animada Nueva York, donde consigue un papel protagonista en una radionovela y se convierte en una pequeña celebridad. En un mundo en crisis y una época en la que se avecina la tormenta de la guerra, las hermanas luchan por salir adelante como tantas otras mujeres jóvenes.
