I highly recommend listening to this one – available on Hoopla instantly, no waiting! It’s almost 30 hours long, but the time flew by, especially the chapters told from the perspective of 11 year old Margo Louise Lafleur. Meg stole the entire book for me with her funny, fierce, endearing personality.  

“Stockett’s vibrant follow-up to her bestselling 2009 novel, The Help, traces the intersecting lives of an exasperated older sister, a precocious orphan, and an enterprising woman in 1933 Mississippi. . . . By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, this offers a memorable view into the impossible choices faced by women in the Great Depression.”—Publishers Weekly 

“Smart, funny, and driven by unforgettable characters whose opinions and actions leap off the page, this is a must-read.”—Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry 

“All three protagonists are compelling, but Meg is the star of The Calamity Club. She owes a debt to other smart, lonely girls of Southern literature—especially Frankie, from Carson McCullers’ “The Member of the Wedding”—but her voice is singular and laugh-out-loud funny. . . . Stockett deftly unites her three main characters for an ending that’s as cozy and satisfying as the chicken pot pies her characters keep making and eating.”—Minnesota Star Tribune
