The Hours Count by Jillian Cantor
4.0
Excellent historical fiction about the Rosenbergs Ethel and Julius and her brother David Greenglass and fictional characters. This was in 1950s in NYC and the Rosenbergs were electrocuted as Soviet spies. They were Jews.
It is now assumed that Julius was a spy and that Ethel was not - and her brother set them up as he was a suspect and wanted him and his wife cleared. There was then terrible fear of Soviet Union Russia and communism. It led to McCarthy's horrific Unamerican Activities witchhunts that were politically motivated.
The fiction is with these other people who lived in same building in NYC as the Rosenberg family - there were also two children. Also a psychologist PhD who was also in FBI investigating these people. Extremely well written well developed characters. She is a very good writer Jillian Cantor
