book cover of The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick: a heartwarming novel depicting a group of diverse women, suggesting themes of friendship and support.

Praise For This Book


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.'

'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.'
