SUMMARY:Contemporary Women Writers Book Group
DESCRIPTION:\nFor May we will be reading The Briar Club by Kate Quinn\n\nA 
 haunting and powerful story of female friendships and secrets in a 
 Washington\, DC\, boardinghouse during the McCarthy era.   Everyone keeps 
 to themselves at Briarwood House\, a down-at-the-heels all-female 
 boardinghouse in the heart of the nation's capital\, where secrets hide 
 behind white picket fences. But when the lovely\, mysterious widow Grace 
 March moves into the attic\, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors 
 into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss whose facade of 
 perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds\; police officer's 
 daughter Nora\, who is entangled with a shadowy gangster\; frustrated 
 baseball star Bea\, whose career has ended along with the women's baseball 
 league of WWII\; and poisonous\, gung-ho Arlene\, who has thrown herself 
 into McCarthy's Red Scare. Grace's weekly attic-room dinner parties and 
 window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives\, but she 
 hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears 
 apart the house\, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: Who is 
 the true enemy in their midst?\n\n \n\nOrder book here ---> The Briar
