She has a standing invitation to the neighborhood coffeeklatch, and now, thanks to her husband, a new subscription to A Woman's Place--a magazine thattells housewives like Margaret exactly who to be and what to buy. On paper, she has it all. Sowhy doesn't that feel like enough? Margaret is thrown for a loop when she first meets CharlotteGustafson, Concordia's newest and most intriguing resident. As an excuse to be in the mysteriousCharlotte's orbit, Margaret concocts a book club get-together and invites two other neighborhoodwomen--Bitsy and Viv--to the inaugural meeting. As the women share secrets, cocktails, andtheir honest reactions to the controversial bestseller The Feminine Mystique, they begin todiscover that the American dream they'd been sold isn't all roses and sunshine--and that theirsecret longing for more is something they share.
