The Calamity Club: A Novel by Kathryn Stockett. Spiegel and Grau, 2026. 638 pages. Adult fictio. Historical fiction.
Most readers are familiar with THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett. It's been twenty years and now it's time for her second novel. Totally different from her first book, this one is also set in Mississippi and centers mainly on women. Chapters feature different narrators and all have stories to tell! It's easy to tell the women apart. The details about clothing and houses and people help the Depression and the 1930's come alive. No one does Southern dialect better than Stockett. Don't let the length of this novel scare you! It is a a great read and worth it's weight to take on that summer vacation...maybe to Oxford, Mississippi?
