The Secret Book Society

London, 1895. Three women, each reluctantly bound by advantageous marriages, receive a mysterious invitation to an afternoon tea at the home of the reclusive Lady Duxbury. They enter a secret book community where they can find the freedom and courage to change their lives.
Eleanor Clarke, a devoted mother, suffocating under the tyranny of her husband. Rose Wharton, an American "dollar princess" trying to keep within the confines of an aristocratic wife. Lavinia Cavendish, a young woman with an artistic mindset, tied to a dangerous family secret. All of them are drawn to the enigmatic Lady Duxbury, a thrice-widowed countess rumored to have killed her husbands. Friendship will allow them not only to change themselves but also to uncover dangerous secrets that threaten their future.
