More than 2 years on the New York Times bestseller list, 21 weeks at #1. Mississippi, in 1933. The economic crisis is keeping the world in suspense. But as the sweltering hot summer gradually turns into autumn, a group of women in the small town of Oxford join forces - some from the better society, a few on criminal paths. While some cling to the fantasy of days gone by, others feel strengthened by their desperation. They strive for power, climb up in Southern society or take amazing risks, whatever the cost. Because they all have one thing in common: they have little to lose. Bold, heartwarming and refreshingly funny, 'The Club of the Indomitable' is a rousing story about the power of female empowerment and the courage of those who are determined to take back what they deserve.
