The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick

What a delightful read with delightful characters.

We meet housewives in the 1960s who say they are happy, but are they really?

Some of them gave up careers to be a housewife and mother while others didn't know there was anything else to life but getting married and having their husband be in charge of the finances and anything they could do outside the home like opening a bank account and relying on his controlling of money.

When the neighborhood women gather together for a book club and read The Feminine Mystique by Betty Frieden, their bonds become stronger and some break out of their roles.

This is a truly enjoyable book that made me smile and actually laugh out loud even though it got bogged down a bit at times.

Hurray for these housewives and friendships women make!!   5/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
