The Book Club
Johnnie Brannon
"A woman is invited to be a part of a book club....but it soon becomes clear that the women in this club are more than they appear to be."
Lucy, a woman isolated by her abusive partner, is befriended by the kind Esme, who invites Lucy to join her and a small group of women friends for tea and fellowship. Risking the ire of her partner, she accepts the invitation. What follows is a wild and unexpected ride that has been described by one reviewer as “Steel Magnolias meets I Spit on Your Grave.”
Part feminist revenge fantasy, part love letter to the bonds of female friendship, the message is clear: don’t expect patriarchy to solve problems that patriarchy itself created. The Book Club tells a story about the strength that can only be found in community, with an unexpected and satisfying twist that speaks directly to the defiance and rage of the current moment.
