Desperate Housewives meets Mad Men in this touching story of motherhood, girlhood, and what really happens behind closed doors in suburban America. Set in the 1960s, we meet a group of women who are struggling to bridge the divide between the perfect 50s housewife and the political tension of the 60s. An essential read.

I loved this book it was uplifting and beautifully written with characters that you engage with and root for. Any comparisons to The Help are very well founded I also got Fried Green Tomatoes vibes from it. One of the best books I've read in a while. Will be buying a copy for my mum when it is published.
