Want to hear more about The Book Club for
Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick?
Margaret never really meant to start a book
club . . . or a feminist revolution, for that matter in this bold and plucky
novel from New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick.
By 1960s standards, Margaret Ryan is living the American
woman's dream. She has a husband, three children, a station wagon, and a home
in Concordia--one of Northern Virginia's most exclusive and picturesque
suburbs. She has a standing invitation to the neighborhood coffee klatch, and
now, thanks to her husband, a new subscription to A Woman's Place--a
magazine that tells housewives like Margaret exactly who to be and what to buy.
On paper, she has it all. So why doesn't that feel like enough?
Margaret is thrown for a loop when she first meets Charlotte
Gustafson, Concordia's newest and most intriguing resident. As an excuse to be
in the mysterious Charlotte's orbit, Margaret concocts a book club get-together
and invites two other neighborhood women--Bitsy and Viv--to the inaugural
meeting. As the women share secrets, cocktails, and their honest reactions to
the controversial bestseller The Feminine Mystique, they begin to
discover that the American dream they'd been sold isn't all roses and sunshine--and
that their secret longing for more is something they share. Nicknaming
themselves the Bettys, after Betty Friedan, these four friends have no idea
their impromptu club and the books they read together will become the glue that
helps them hold fast through tears, triumphs, angst, and arguments--and what
will prove to be the most consequential and freeing year of their lives.
The Book Club for Troublesome Women is a
humorous, thought provoking, and nostalgic romp through one pivotal and
tumultuous American year--as well as an ode to self-discovery, persistence, and
the power of sisterhood.
