The Briar Club

A Washington boarding house full of women, whispers, and dangerous secrets. The neighbours know something — and they're not talking. At Briarwood House, the women at the dinner table have far more going on than the men suspect. Their friendships, rivalries, and secrets make for a deliciously layered historical read. A strong choice for readers who want memorable characters, layered relationships, and plenty to discuss after the last page.
