Join us for our fourth book club meeting!

We will have dinner and then chat about the novel! You can park on the street or in the parking lot, which is located behind the pub.

Description:
By every 1960s measure of success, Margaret Ryan’s life is flawless: a handsome husband, three children, a station wagon, and a home in one of Northern Virginia’s most enviable suburbs. Yet beneath the polished surface, Margaret can’t shake the feeling that something is missing. When a mysterious new neighbor, Charlotte Gustafson, arrives in Concordia, Margaret is drawn into her orbit—and into a risky act of rebellion: a secret book club. Joined by two other neighborhood women, the group reads The Feminine Mystique and begins to speak aloud the doubts they’ve never dared to name. Calling themselves the Bettys, these four women discover that questioning the American dream may be the most dangerous—and liberating—thing they’ve ever done, setting them on a path that will forever change their lives.

Reviews:

  • "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
