The New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye and The
Rose Code returns with a haunting and powerful story of female
friendships and secrets in a Washington, DC, boardinghouse during
the McCarthy era. Washington, DC, 1950. Everyone keeps to
themselves at Briarwood House, a down-at-the-heels all-female
boardinghouse in the heart of the nation's capital where secrets
hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious
widow Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball
collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English
beauty Fliss, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping
inner wounds; policeman's daughter Nora, who finds herself
entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star
Beatrice, whose career has come to an end along with the women's
baseball league of WWII; and poisonous, gung-ho Arlene, who has
thrown herself into McCarthy's Red Scare. Grace's weekly attic-room
dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on
all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a
shocking act of violence tears the house apart, the Briar Club
women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their
midst? Capturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the
changing roles for women in postwar America, The Briar Club is an
intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the
test.
