The Briar Club

by Kate Quinn

Historical Fiction: A story that takes place in Washington DC during the Cold War. It's equal parts romance and suspense, but most of all it's rich in historical facts and ambience and everyone has a secret. The premise is itriguing and there is a stong focus on female bonding and friendships. -The Briar Club by Kate Quinn #historical Fiction #reading
