Lisa Reed is one of the organizers of \u201cTupelo Reads.\u201d She says \u201cThe Calamity Club\u201d is set in Oxford in the 1930s.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt revolves around three women, a young woman named Meg, in an orphan asylum, another woman from the Delta, older woman and another character and these three women intersect, I think the Calamity Club, they have really hard lives and intersect, but out of the intersection comes some good things.\u201d<\/p>\n
