The Calamity Club Audiobook by Kathryn Stockett— narrated by Jenna Lamia and January LaVoy

28 hr 44 min

#1 Audible Bestseller

The Calamity Club is Kathryn Stockett's first novel since The Help, a big-hearted Depression-era story set in 1933 Oxford, Mississippi, where an abandoned orphan, an outspoken newcomer, and a woman fresh out of luck collide and hatch an audacious plan to seize back some control of their own lives. Warm, funny, and furious about how little the world allowed women then.

Why the audiobook wins

Jenna Lamia and January LaVoy anchor a full-cast production, the right call for a book that hands its story to three very different women. Lamia has a real gift for young Southern voices, and she gives eleven-year-old Meg a flintiness that never turns cute. Nearly twenty-nine hours is a commitment, but the performances make Depression-era Mississippi feel like a room you're standing in.
