#thesecretbooksociety ! Beyond phenomenal. a peek behind what women had to endure while telling the story of the strength of women & their friendships. 4 women in 1895 London find friendship & their voices in a secret book club. Away from societal norms & secrets they are hiding in their marriages.

I enjoyed The Keeper of Hidden Books more, The Librarian Spy was also a great book. Inspired by true events, it follows the stories of 2 women that use their talents to fight against the Nazis in WWII. As the war continues and their lives are torn apart, their mission and stories intertwine.
