Again, what a winner of a story from Sara!
1960s-
Beverly, after finding her husband in a cheating situation, she decides to put her knowledge of politics (her dad was in and her cheating husband is in them) to use. This all while trying to get a divorce, keep mothering her kids, deal with her mother moving in and trying to get political candidate Michael his Senate seat.
I really liked Bev. Her having to deal with her mother (who I couldn't stand much at first but she slowly won me over!) just had me busting a gut laughing. She was not one to back down from a challenge. She was so great in getting Michael in front of women voters to show that they should have a say and not vote a certain way because "their husband tells them who to vote for". She went out of her way to get Michael in front of Black persons because their votes matter too. I love how she stood up for Fran and got her out of a toxic work environment for the antisemitism that was clearly there.
(If you have seen The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, this was totally in my head while reading.)
