The Book Club for Troublesome Women

Marie Bostwick

Concordia, Virginia, 1963: Margaret Ryan has the station wagon, the children, the picturesque suburb — and a nameless hunger she can't put on the grocery list. When intriguing new neighbor Charlotte Gustafson arrives, Margaret invents a book club and ropes in Viv Buschetti and Bitsy Cobb. They christen themselves the Bettys, open Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, and discover that friendship, cocktails, and the right book can turn a "perfect" year into a free one.

“On paper, she has it all. So why doesn't that feel like enough?”
