Poor and rich folks alike have fallen on hard times, even as the old social order remains. For women on the margins, the options are few and the price of dignity and self-determination is unbearably high.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEleven-year-old Meg, one of the unadoptable “big girls” at the Lafayette County Orphan Asylum, fights each day to keep her spirit unbowed. Birdie, unmarried and outspoken, has come to Oxford on a mission to ask her social-climbing sister to help the struggling family she’s left behind. And Charlie is a woman with a past, running low on luck but driven by fire, fury, and grit. When their fates converge, they come up with an audacious plan to take back control of their lives. Together, they form an unlikely sisterhood—but in a place and time where hypocrisy is rife, women’s freedom is fragile, and making an enemy can have dire consequences, will the price they pay for their outrageous risk-taking be too high?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Event","offers":[{"title":"General Admission (No Book)","offer_id":47142973538489,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GA with Book","offer_id":47143055786169,"sku":null,"price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/3946\/1305\/files\/calamity.jpg?v=1778539763","url":"https:\/\/www.seattlebookclub.com\/products\/the-calamity-club-a-two-part-book-club-event-series","provider":" Seattle Book Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
