History May Not Repeat Itself But It Does Rhyme

The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick

March 29, 2026 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Rating: 3.5 Stars In a nutshell: Four women living outside D.C. in the 1960s find themselves at crossroads, motivated by reading ‘The Feminine Mystique.’ Best for: Those who enjoy stories of women finding themselves.

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley, this did not affect my rating or review. This was such a great book to read in the current environment, however, the ending just didn’t stick, and I think that if Bostwick had left that part of the book alone the book would have been a 5 star favorite with me. “The Book Club for Troublesome Women” takes place in 1963 in a Virginia town called Concordia (just think close to Alexandria and D.C.
