Listen of the Month: The Calamity Club

June 19, 2026

Posted by Katie Johnson

Our Listen of the Month for June is The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett, a lively and character-driven novel that blends humour, heart and small-town drama into a thoroughly engaging listen.

Set in a tight-knit Southern community, the story follows an unlikely group of women brought together by circumstance, secrets and a shared determination to rewrite their own narratives. As buried tensions rise and unexpected bonds form, what begins as chaos gradually transforms into something far more meaningful.

The audiobook brings Stockett’s vibrant storytelling to life, capturing every sharp exchange, emotional turn and moment of wit. With richly drawn characters and an authentic sense of place, it invites listeners straight into the heart of the community.

Why we love it

  • A warm, character-led story filled with humour and heartfelt moments
