HTML: 1944. When sixteen-year-old Ruby Pickett and her family move to the new, government-built city of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Ruby knows that her daddy's new job will help the war effort, but she has no idea how. Ruby is not alone in her lack of knowledge, as the city's true purpose is a carefully guarded secret. A thinker and a reader, Ruby has always been restless, and she finds Oak Ridge a much more stimulating environment than her old home in rural Southeastern Kentucky. Ruby finds a kindred spirit in twenty-three-year-old Iris, a wife and mother who has moved to Oak Ridge with her scientist husband and is frustrated by the intellectual limitations of being a full-time housewife. Ruby and Iris's relationship starts as friendship but deepens in emotional intensity until it, like the purpose of Oak Ridge itself, is a dangerous secret. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Edit: I've just finished reading The Girls of Atomic City by Denise Kiernan. It's pretty clear to me that Julia Watts borrowed heavily from Kiernan while writing Secret City. I read Secret City first, so I can't really say for sure, but upon reading Girls of Atomic City, many things would immediately bring to mind Secret City. It's one thing to be inspired by a book to write something, but this struck me as being a little more than inspiration. I'm removing another star from my review as a result. ( )
