PS! Book Club: A Woman of Intelligence

Loading Events

Join the PS! Book Club on September 19th at 7:00 pm, for a thoughtful discussion of September Book Club Selection: A Woman of Intelligence by Karin Tanabe. 

With a Fifth Avenue address, parties at the Plaza, two healthy sons, and the ideal husband: what looks like a perfect life for Katharina Edgeworth is anything but. It’s 1954, and the Katharina’s post-war American dream has become fraught with modern problems like postpartum depression and the loss of identity. Mix a spy story, and a love story into the nightmare, and this book captures an era. 

A former reporter for Politico, Karin Tanabe is the author of six novels, one of which, The Gilded Years, is soon to be a major motion picture. She is described by National Public Radio as a “master of historical fiction”. Ms. Tanabe is a first-generation American. She is married and has two children, and is a graduate of Vassar College. She and her family reside in Washington, D.C.
