The Saturday Evening Girls Club brings to life the story of four young women creating lives for themselves in the early 1900s in Boston’s North End. Healey seamlessly weaves the narratives, exploring the hardships—of immigration, sexism, and cultural clashes—with a hearty dose of hope and resilience. These are strong women facing up to a new American world where work, love, and pushing against tradition can come at a cost. Book groups and readers looking to find friends on the page or discuss themes that resonate strongly today will adore The Saturday Evening Girls Club.” —Emily Franklin, author of The Girls’ Almanac and Last Night at the Circle Cinema“Follow the four women of Jane Healey's immersive historical drama and you'll come face to face with how different life truly was for women at the turn of the century.

A winner from author Healey—I look forward to reading more from her!” —Camille DiMaio, author of the bestselling novel The Memory of Us and the forthcoming Before the Rain Falls“Set in early twentieth-century Boston, The Saturday Evening Girls Club is a heartwarming story of love, laughter, ambition, and friendship.
