“You give a girl a taste of fresh air and then you take it away—she’ll grow fierce and wild to get it back.”

Oxford, Mississippi, 1933.

Eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one.

Ever since her beloved mother failed to come home last Christmas Eve, she’s been one of the “unadoptable” girls at the town’s orphanage, where she fights each day to keep her wits sharp and her spirit unbowed.

When she meets Birdie, a young woman who has come to Oxford determined to remind her socialite sister of the impoverished family she left behind, for the first time in a long while it seems someone else might care about Meg’s future.

But as the Depression tightens its grip, Birdie begins to suspect her sister’s charmed life may be founded on a tapestry of lies. Then, Birdie encounters Charlie, a woman haunted by loss who has been pushed to the brink with nothing left to lose.

Drawn together by circumstance, they find unexpected kinship among a disreputable, determined band of women. But in a town steeped in hypocrisy, even the smallest act of defiance can have dangerous consequences…

Bold, heartwarming, and riotously funny, The Calamity Club is an unforgettable story of resilience and friendship, and a sisterhood of underestimated women who risk everything to take back control of their fates.

批評家のレビュー

Smart, funny, and driven by unforgettable characters ... a must-read
With exquisite storytelling and unforgettable characters, The Calamity Club is a joyful, heartbreaking, heartwarming read. I loved it so much
A raucous tale of found family ... a rollicking and wrenching story of economic hardship and injustice ... pure hell-raising entertainment
Its character-driven story zips along [in] a rip-roaring adventure of found family, complex sisterhood and tested moral compasses. A plot-driven yarn that keeps the reader on tenterhooks until the end. Stockett is a born storyteller
So immersive, exciting, and downright fabulous, you never want it to end
As witty, bold, and transportive as it is heartbreaking and compassionate ... storytelling at its finest. Stockett’s masterfully drawn characters are simply unforgettable. Bravo to Meg, Birdie, and Charlie for reminding us to never underestimate the bottomless resilience of smart, spirited women in revolt against circumstance and injustice
An old-fashioned saga, generous in both detail and srawl
The much-anticipated second novel from the author of The Help - 17 years in the making - is set in Oxford, Mississippi in 1933 and tells the story of a group of women and an irrepressible 11-year-old orphan whose fates converge
What a treat to savour – a new novel from the author of The Help, about three women in Depression-era Mississippi
It’s such a joy to immerse yourself in this world and with these characters that the pages fly by ... this is a really special book that’s been well worth the wait
