This one is a pretty quick read about a singular woman who sets out to help her peers in Victorian London. There is really nothing new here - women were owned by their husbands, not allowed to have an opinion, and constantly threatened with the asylum. Martin dedicates alternating chapters to each of these women to tell the story of their own secrets, of how they came together in their book club, how they learned from and helped each other, and how they ended up exactly where they needed to be. A nice uplifting read of subversive girl power!
