Set in a prim and picture-perfect US suburbia of the 1960s is this captivating story of sisterhood and self-discovery. Margaret Ryan and her fellow housewives have their modus operandi: keep their children, hearth, and husbands well cared for. But when they form a neighbourhood book club and start to share more than cocktails, their lives begin to feel less than rose-coloured. Propelled by the blockbuster The Feminine Mystique, the four friends begin to question the status quo and their ‘expected’ place in it. Full of nostalgia and meticulous detail, Bostwick delivers an empowering piece of historical fiction.
