The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
At first, I didn’t like this book. The narrators gradually brought me to an far different conclusion. Jenna Lamia, January LaVoy played the young girl (Meg) and the woman (Birdie) main characters repectively.
One has to keep in mind the time was around the depression and females were to only be found in the kitchen. What happened to girls in the ophanage? Meg was especially unfortunate. But she was tough and intelligent. She learns to survive in a hateful place.
Birdie learns how to get out of the kitchen and into life and caring for everyone beyond her home.
I loved watching the characters grow. Kathryn Stockett wrote a book that felt like real life.
Libby supplied this audiobook. If you get the chance give it a read.
