It’s New Year’s Eve,1942, WWII is raging, and Liberty Johannsen, a young chambermaid in Boston’s tony Back Bay, is kicked out of the only job – and home – she’s ever known after fighting off unwanted advances from the Governor’s son. Nicknamed Songbird thanks to her beautiful voice, Libby takes a new position at the grand Fairmont Copley hotel in Boston,  where she makes the acquaintance of blue-blooded composer Francis Key, unexpectedly becoming his muse…and soon, something much more. Until Libby’s fiancé, Boston Globe photographer Clancy Armstrong, returns from the front. Libby faces a devastating choice, one that will affect not only these three lives but the course of American history forever. A sweeping historical romance from New York Times and international bestseller Jenna Blum, author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family, THE KEY OF LOVE showcases one woman’s fierce love and burning ambition as she makes an impossible decision while the fate of the world is up for grabs.

    The Key of Love podcast is an incredibly enjoyable listen with a refreshing twist. The inclusion of Liberty's singing adds an extra element of delight to the overall experience. However, I have one major frustration with this podcast, as well as others like it. The lack of published cast lists and pictures for the voice actors makes it difficult for listeners to connect and fully appreciate the talent behind the characters they hear. Despite this drawback, J Blum's beautifully written story captivates and unfolds in a way that surpasses what an audiobook version could offer. This unique trend of presenting stories through podcasts is one that I hope more authors will embrace. Even as someone who isn't usually into podcasts, I found myself thoroughly enjoying this fresh and engaging storytelling format. The live action feel of the podcast creates a cinematic experience for listeners, immersing them in a world brought to life through sound alone. Additionally, the production quality is top-notch, with the actors expertly portraying Bostonian accents and lifestyle, adding an authentic touch to the narrative. Binge-watching these episodes felt akin to watching a high-budget movie with my eyes closed, making it an exciting and immersive journey. In conclusion, despite the frustrating lack of information regarding voice actors, The Key of Love podcast is a must-listen for anyone looking for a new and captivating storytelling experience.
