Kathryn Stockett: "Der Club der Unbeugsamen"

In the organizer's words:

The successful US author and New York Times bestseller Kathryn Stockett is coming to Munich to present her new novel Der Club der Unbeugamen at the Amerikahaus. Kathryn Stockett achieved worldwide fame after the huge success of her first novel Good Spirits (original title: The Help), which was made into a film starring actresses Octavia Spencer, Viola Davis and Emma Stone.

About the book:

Mississippi, 1933: The economic crisis has the world on tenterhooks. But as the scorching hot summer gradually turns to fall, a group of women in the small town of Oxford band together - some from better society, a few on criminal paths. While some cling to the fantasies of days gone by, others feel emboldened by their desperation. They strive for power, climb the social ladder in the southern states or take astonishing risks, whatever the cost. Because they all have one thing in common: they have little to lose.

Bold, heart-warming and refreshingly funny, The Unbreakable Club is a rousing story about the power of female empowerment and the courage of those who are determined to take back what is rightfully theirs.

Moderator: Günther Keil, journalist
