A serialised novel by Rachel Doré (Words From the Bubble) narrated by Romy Hooper. Narration made possible by funding from the Earle Creativity and Development Trust, with collaboration from Manawatu People’s Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air. In our last episode, Ruby and Edie found temporary lodgings in a run-down boardinghouse, after she posed as a war widow to overcome the manager’s prejudice against unmarried mothers. We left her reflecting on her circumstances and the uncertain future ahead.
