This book gave a fascinating glimpse into 1950s America — what life was like for women from different walks of life. Although we get great character exploration, I liked some much more than others and felt let down when we had to change perspectives just when I got invested in one storyline. We have 6 main characters, and about 7+ other side characters. The author did a great job with the pacing and keeping me invested in the murder mystery. I wanted to get to the end to see how everything came together.

This book is for those that:
- Have enjoyed Kate Quinn’s books in the past
- Like found family / neighbors
- Female / feminist POV
- Learning about micro-history

I've been on a roll recently, reading books that I've loved.  This is another one of those five-star books.  I loved everything about this book:  the women, what it was like to live in a boarding house in the 1950s, and the different stories that covered many aspects of life then.   This book would be great to listen to as well as to read in print.
