Description
The Briar Club by Kate Quinn is a powerful and intimate historical novel set in Washington, D.C. in 1950. At the heart of the story is Briarwood House, an all-female boarding house where secrets hide behind respectable facades. When the mysterious Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her neighbours into an unlikely friendship, and her weekly dinner parties become a healing balm on all their troubled lives. However, Grace hides a terrible secret of her own, and when a shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the true enemy in their midst must be revealed. This gripping tale of female friendships and secrets is set against the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evokes the changing roles for women in postwar America. With its blend of suspense, class struggle, and female empowerment, The Briar Club is a compelling addition to Kate Quinn's repertoire.
