About The Briar Club
Set in 1950s Washington, D.C., the novel follows the women of Briarwood House, whose lives are changed by the arrival of Grace March and her attic-room dinners. The residents form an unlikely circle of support while each carries private fears and compromises shaped by the politics of the era. When violence tears through the house, their loyalties are tested and they must decide who the real enemy is.
