The Book Club for Troublesome Women

The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick

This was an inspiring journey! It often amazes me how one person’s words can inspire so many.

A small group of women gathered to discuss a profound book and it changed their lives.

All from different backgrounds and circumstances found a family of women that learned so much about themselves. Through so many significant life changes they encouraged and challenged one another and championed their causes.

I absolutely loved reading this journey of women finding their way and supporting one another in ways no one could imagine.

This is told from multiple points but only to characterize the journey.

In the 1960s, four housewives found a gold mine with the sisterhood they formed with a book club. They live in a “planned community” and appear to have it all.

Margaret Ryan, Viv Buschetti, Bitsy Cob and Charlotte Gustafson come together discussing the controversial “The Feminine Mystique”. They call themselves “The Bettys”.

The book introduced them to the possibility of what could be, and planted hope among their frustration and dissatisfaction as they navigate a world of change, their sisterhood carries them into the future.

This is historical fiction covering women’s rights, Jackie Kennedy, and more.

I loved it! Four women, four friends take on the world after reading an inspiring book! 5/5

I would like to say Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review the ARC of both the e-book and the audiobook. Both are phenomenal!

The narration is excellent!
