November Book and Dinner Club

Martha is hosting our November Book and Dinner Club at family owned and operated La Esperanza Restaurant in Lindenwold, whose name means HOPE. Offering traditional Mexican meals from family recipes as well as other Latin American specialties, La Esperanza features a full bar. This is NOT A BYOB.

Judy chose The Briar Club, by New York Times bestselling author Kate Quinn. The Briar Club is a haunting historical story of female friendships and secrets in a Washington, DC, boardinghouse during the McCarthy era.

Washington, DC, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, an all-female boardinghouse where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendships.

Grace’s weekly dinner parties become a healing balm on all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst?
