Kathryn Stockett
Après être diplômée de l'Université d'Alabama, Kathryn Stockett part pour New York en 2001 et fait ses débuts dans l'édition et le marketing. Ce n'est que quelques années plus tard qu'elle débute l'écriture de son roman saisissant : "The Help", traduit chez nous par La couleur des sentiments. Le récit se déroule dans la ville qui l'a vu naître : Jackson, dans le Mississippi. Redécouvrez cette période sombre de l'histoire américaine où la frontière entre blancs et noirs était clairement définie. A travers la vision de trois personnages : la jeune journaliste blanche, Skeeter, et les deux nourrices noires, Abileen et Minny, vivez leur volonté de faire changer les choses. Parfois drôle, souvent émouvant et toujours captivant, cette œuvre, après avoir essuyée le refus de 45 éditeurs, a connu un succès phénoménal. Elle est ainsi restée plus de 100 semaines en haut du classement des best-sellers du New York Times et remporte, en France, le Grand prix 2011 des lectrices de Elle. Découvrez un récit magnifique ayant fasciné plus de 5 millions de lecteurs à travers le monde. De ces histoires restant gravées à jamais dans notre mémoire, notre communauté a particulièrement apprécié L'ile des oubliés de Victoria Hislop, Rosa Candida d'Audur Ava Olafsdottir ou encore le poignant témoignage de Céline Raphaël : La démesure. Différents formats, petits prix et garantie satisfait ou remboursé vont vous donner envie de vous évader.

The Calamity Club
It's been over a year since Meg's beloved mother failed to come home one Christmas eve. Since then the eleven-year-old has been one of the unadoptable 'big' girls at The Orphan in Oxford Mississippi. There, in the face of the inexplicable disdain of Miss Faye who runs the orphanage, she fights each day to keep her wits sharp and her spirit unbowed. When she meets Birdie, who has come to Oxford from the Mississippi Delta, on a quest to remind her socialite sister of the struggling family she conveniently left behind, for the first time in a long while it seems someone else might care about Meg's future.
But Birdie has troubles of her own. As the Depression tightens its grip, it's clear that her frivolous sister may have built her dreams on unsteady foundations. With her banker husband worryingly absent, she drifts around his once-grand family home as her imperious mother-in-law clings to a fantasy of bygone days. When Birdie meets Charlie, a woman with nothing left to lose, their fates - and Meg's - converge with those of a band of disreputable, determined women as they form an audacious plan to take back control of their lives.
But in a place and time where hypocrisy is rife, where women's freedom is fragile and where making an enemy can have calamitous consequences, will the price they pay for their outrageous risk-taking be too high?Bold, heartwarming and bracingly funny, The Calamity Club is an unputdownable story about the many ways female agency can be thwarted, and of those determined to take it back, no matter the cost
