The Calamity Club: A Novel

by Kathryn Stockett

Kathryn Stockett's first novel since the #1 bestselling phenomenon THE HELP. Set in Oxford, Mississippi, in 1933, The Calamity Club tells the story of a group of women--some socialites, a few criminals--whose fates converge as the summer turns to fall and the hard times of the Depression tighten their grip. While some cling to the fantasy of bygone days, others are emboldened by their desperation: to seek power, to climb Southern social ranks, or to take astonishing risks, no matter the cost, because there's little left to lose.
