À propos de cet audio

USA TODAY BESTSELLER · SOUTHERN INDIE BESTSELLER · A BRENDA NOVAK BOOK GROUP PICK · GLOSS BOOK CLUB PICK · THE GIRLFRIEND BOOK CLUB PICK · A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 (SheReads) · Margaret never really meant to start a book club . . . or a feminist revolution, for that matter in this bold and plucky novel from New York Times bestselling author Marie Bostwick.

"Ideal for fans of historical fiction and those who enjoyed Bonnie Garmus's Lessons in Chemistry." --Library Journal, starred review

"Readers will cheer." --Kirkus

"Perfect for those who love book club, nostalgia for the 1960s, and stories of female friendship." --Booklist

"A feel-good beach read with . . . elements that spark a revolution." --Southern Review of Books

By 1960s standards, Margaret Ryan is living the American woman's dream. She has a husband, three children, a station wagon, and a home in Concordia--one of Northern Virginia's most exclusive and picturesque suburbs. She has a standing invitation to the neighborhood coffee klatch, and now, thanks to her husband, a new subscription to A Woman's Place--a magazine that tells housewives like Margaret exactly who to be and what to buy. On paper, she has it all. So why doesn't that feel like enough?

Margaret is thrown for a loop when she first meets Charlotte Gustafson, Concordia's newest and most intriguing resident. As an excuse to be in the mysterious Charlotte's orbit, Margaret concocts a book club get-together and invites two other neighborhood women--Bitsy and Viv--to the inaugural meeting. As the women share secrets, cocktails, and their honest reactions to the controversial bestseller The Feminine Mystique, they begin to discover that the American dream they'd been sold isn't all roses and sunshine--and that their secret longing for more is something they share. Nicknaming themselves the Bettys, after Betty Friedan, these four friends have no idea their impromptu club and the books they read together will become the glue that helps them hold fast through tears, triumphs, angst, and arguments--and what will prove to be the most consequential and freeing year of their lives.

The Book Club for Troublesome Women is a humorous, thought provoking, and nostalgic romp through one pivotal and tumultuous American year--as well as an ode to self-discovery, persistence, and the power of sisterhood.

Ce que les critiques en disent

'Bostwick (ESME CAHILL FAILS SPECTACULARLY, 2023) has written another charming, winning novel, perfect for those who love book club, nostalgia for the 1960s, and stories of female friendship.'
'Bostwick's latest is ideal for fans of historical fiction and those who enjoyed Bonnie Garmus's LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, Kristin Hannah's THE WOMEN, or Kate Quinn's THE BRIAR CLUB, which explore the historical roles of women and the challenges they faced within a society structured to define and limit their roles in and out of the home.'
'In THE BOOK CLUB FOR TROUBLESOME WOMEN, the talented Marie Bostwick says this, 'Acquaintances abound, but true friendships are rare and worth waiting for,' capturing the essence, and the heart, of this story. If you love stories about friendships, strong women, the 60s, and the power of the written word, this is the book for you.'
'Marie Bostwick's latest novel, THE BOOK CLUB FOR TROUBLESOME WOMEN, comes at a time when escape is needed without detaching from reality . . . a feel-good beach read with substance, a sweet, tangy, and smooth complement to the strong, briny elements that spark a revolution.'
'No one writes female friendship like the luminous Marie Bostwick. When a group of friends decide to read Betty Friedan's blockbuster, THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE, the words on the page serve as a rally cry to action for Margaret, Viv, Bitsy, and Charlotte. Long before women were recognized for their contributions and talents, Bostwick carves an unforgettable path for her characters in THE BOOK CLUB FOR TROUBLESOME WOMEN. At its heart, this is a novel about ambitious women and the mentors that inspired them to excellence. This story is a time capsule of what was, which shows us who we are today.'

Excellent

The characters really grab you in the beginning and they don't let go till the end. This is not normally the type or genre of book I enjoy reading, however I loved it.

Fantastic Story

I was 12 in 1963 so this book really resonated with me. It reminded me of the issues my mother faced and that I faced as a young woman. The women of my mother's generation really paved the way for my generation to pursue careers beyond the nurse, secretary and teacher options school guidance counselors offered at the time. My own career was one that was traditionally only open to men. This was such a delicious and satisfying read and it would make a great mini series.

A Wonderful Read

This book was a delight from start to finish. I loved the way the author weveved together the true cultural realities of the early 1960s while crafting a beautiful story about women finding their path and relying on each other as a lifeline through it all. This book was funny, surprising, interesting, and I couldn’t put it down.

Fascinating historical fiction

I love the story of friendship, the truth, telling among women and the strength of the characters

The characters

The characters are not believable and the story drags on and on. I believe in supporting women, as I am a woman, but this was girl power overkill…ugh!

I tried to finish this audiobook, but, I just couldn’t listen to it one minute longer. With only 28 minutes left, I quit. I was sooo bored, I really cared less what the ending was. I will never get the time back in my life, that this book took.

This Story Drags on Forever
