The riveting tale of one woman’s journey and her rise to power, Anna Hastings gives readers an inside glimpse into the workings of journalism in Washington. Drury takes his own experience in the field to reflect on the state of journalism in the 1970s. In contrast to his other series’, notably Advise and Consent, he humanizes the very field he often calls into question.Anna Hastings is a magnificent novel of Washington journalism, shown through the eyes of vivid, fascinating, and humanly likable characters. From Allen Drury, the master of spellbinding political fiction, author of Advise and Consent.“Anna Hastings is both a fresh face and a fresh start in Drury fiction” – John Barkham, The Victoria Advocate 1977

About the Author

Allen Drury is a master of political fiction, #1 New York Times bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner, best known for the landmark novel ADVISE AND CONSENT. A 1939 graduate of Stanford University, Allen Drury wrote for and became editor of two local California newspapers. While visiting Washington, DC, in 1943 he was hired by the United Press (UPI) and covered the Senate during the latter half of World War II. After the war he wrote for other prominent publications before joining the New York Times' Washington Bureau, where he worked through most of the 1950s. After the success of ADVISE AND CONSENT, he left journalism to write full time. He published twenty novels and five works of non-fiction, many of them best sellers. WordFire Press will be reissuing the majority of his works.

Anne Phillips
5.0 out of 5 stars She grabbed the brass ring
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2017

"I shall never forget my introduction to Washington. To think I, Anna Kowalczek from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, should actually be right there, in the capitol of the United States, privileged to hear our Greatest President..." Anna is a pretty, personable, talented and supremely confident cub reporter, soon the leader of a group of four equally young and inexperienced reporters. Her story, interwoven with that of "ruthless, clever Tal" Farson, "plodding, dependable Ed" Macomb, and Bessie Rovere starts with this novice reporter Anna following leads, rubbing shoulders with Senators and living in a basement studio apartment.Ed Macomb retells the story, necessarily from his point of view and sometimes very unflattering for Anna - a cold, manipulative climber, who ruthlessly manipulates her husband, Texas Senator Gordon Hastings, uses his millions to acquire a newspaper, the Washington Inquirer. discards him, alienates her children and still manages to hold on to her old friends. A fascinating story of manipulation and outsize egos. .

5.0 out of 5 stars Drury at his speediest!
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2004
A prequel of sorts to Advise and Consent, this book moves! What a treasure. Drury effectively develops his characters through their conversations, yet still gives us insight to their character through narration. I think all women may find a bit of themselves in Anna or Bess, as all men will be able to identify with one of the male characters in this book. He humanizes what in other books he satirizes (the leftist press). A definite read for Drury lovers, and a great place to start if you want to break into this wonderful author's books.
