SUMMARY:10/12: Different Eras - Historical Fiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:10/12: Different Eras – Historical Fiction Book Club at Booksweet \nCome join us for a cozy evening at Booksweet for our first Historical Fiction Book Club on Sunday\, October 12! For our first read\, we’ve selected The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. Whether you’re a history buff or just starting to explore the genre\, this book club is for you! To help transport the club to another time and place\, we will also offer tea and refreshments! \nYour Eventbrite RSVP is so helpful to our planning! \nRSVP‘ \nAbout the book  \nWashington\, DC\, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House\, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital 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 friendship: poised English beauty Fliss\, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; policeman’s daughter Nora\, who finds herself entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Beatrice\, whose career has come to an end along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous\, gung-ho Arlene\, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare. \nGrace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea 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? \nCapturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America\, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test. \nSo… what’s this book club like?  \nThis is our very first historical fiction book club! We hope to invite a group of people who have read the book (or don’t mind a spoiler) to discuss their thoughts. We will bring prompts but invite anyone to pose a question or share their thoughts! \nAfter a good discussion\, the group votes on the next session’s read. Feel free to pitch a book you’ve enjoyed recently or share a new book that you want to read with the group. \nWhile we will have tea\, water\, and light refreshments (including nut-free and gluten-free options)\, Booksweet is located in The Courtyard Shops\, filled with AMAZING dining options. Food and drinks are totally welcome at the meet-up; don’t feel shy about sipping boba while we chat! \nWe hope to see you there!
