Erinnerungen einer der großen Aktivistinnen unserer Zeit Aufgewachsen in den Bergwäldern des Himalayas im nördlichen Indien, hatte Vandana Shiva von Kindesbeinen an eine intensive Beziehung zur Natur und erlebte schon früh die Bedrohung ihrer Wälder durch Raubbau. Sie entschied sich für ein Studium der Quantenphysik und promovierte in Kanada. Sie war in Indien in der Atomforschung involviert, musste aber bald die dunkle Seite dieser Wissenschaft kennenlernen. Das veranlasste sie, stärker die gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Hintergründe zu erforschen und sich mit den Lehren Mahatma Gandhis zu befassen. Dies tat sie sehr gründlich, und bereits 1981 wurde sie als Sachverständige vom Umweltministerium gehört. 1984 bei einer großen Dürre wurde ihr klar, dass die Gewalt der Grünen Revolution die Natur und die mit ihr im Einklang arbeitenden Bauern zerstörte. Ihr Widerstand erschöpfte sich nicht im Protest gegen etwas, sondern führte zu Gründung einer Samenbank, die zum Beispiel 3000 Reissorten rettet. Nicht nur wurde das Saatgut kostenlos abgegeben, ihre 'Earth University' bildete auch mehr als 100.000 Bauern im biologischen Landbau aus. 1993 erhielt sie den 'Right Livelihood Award' (gemeinhin Alternativer Nobelpreis genannt), und sie war weltweit unterwegs, um für ihre Anliegen zu werben: so bei der UNO und der FAO, im Schumacher College, auf Protestmärschen gegen Gentechnik. Sie ist Autorin von mehr als 25 Büchern und bis heute eine gefragte Vortragsrednerin und Interviewpartnerin - und für viele Leitfigur und Hoffnung auf eine bessere Zukunft. Ihr gesamtes Lebenswerk ist von einer tiefen Liebe zum Leben und zur Freiheit durchdrungen. Es ist diese Liebe, die sie anspornt, all das zu verteidigen, was von Unfreiheit bedroht ist - Wälder, Flüsse, Saatgut, Boden, Biodiversität und auch die Menschen, die davon leben. Zusammen mit der quantenphysikalischen Erkenntnis, dass alles miteinander verbunden, alles eins ist, weiß sie Herz und Intellekt zu einer unschlagbaren Waffe im Kampf für das Leben zu vereinen. Vandana Shiva in einem Interview, April 2021: 'Alles, woran ich arbeite, entspringt meinem Innersten, meiner Liebe zum Leben und meiner Liebe zur Freiheit, was auch immer es sein mag: ob es der Schutz der Wälder oder des Saatguts ist oder das Zusammensein mit meinen Schwestern, den Bäuerinnen, deren Land und Boden es zu verteidigen gilt. Es geht darum, das Leben im Geist der Liebe zu verteidigen und die Freiheit im Geist des Widerstands gegen die Unfreiheit.'

Stunning Storytelling
Format: Kindle
Excellent. I read The Help on a whim all those years ago and was spellbound by the author's ability to weave a complex story across multiple narrators. When I'd heard that her second novel was coming out, I added it to my library wishlist as fast as I could. Then, the second I got word it was available, I couldn't help but immediately dive in... and, because her first novel made such an impression upon me, I had so much trust in the author's ability to deliver a story that I hadn't even bothered to read the blurb. Going in blind into the Calamity Club was a discovery! I was charmed, entertained, amused, and once again, spellbound by Stockett's ability to shift between narrators. One, a somewhat sheltered but very bright and kindhearted woman Birdie. And the other, a charming and very intelligent 11-year-old seemingly orphaned girl, Meg. But beyond this, her ability to weave together a story featuring the fringes of society, giving people -- women, of various walks of life -- a voice in an era where women might have the vote, but are still subjected to a variety of society norms, laws, and double standards, is still very compelling. I adored Meg, and I was so invested in seeing how things would turn out for her. And the strong female cast that Stockett features here only adds to the story's strengths. Having read a few comments here on length, while I agree the story is a little long and the try-fail cycle of getting the underground business off the ground may feel pointless for some, it didn't bother me and only served to showcase the strength of the women. There were so many characters in this book that one could examine closer, from the aching pain of Rory's story to the quiet pain of the accidental loss of someone struggling with emotional struggles and alcoholism to the desperation of destitution, and the lengths one might go just to survive. There's so much within these pages to mine and consider, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My only critique is that I felt it ended so abruptly! I wanted just one further chapter, a glimpse of Meg's future... Still: an excellent read, and the Acknowledgements/Author's Note on the research involved in this one was one that made me think about how far we've come... and the direction of where we might go in the future.

Un-Putdown-Able
Format: Kindle
Wonderful book! It’s intriguing, heartfelt and funny as hell. There may be a few loose ends they are too easily wrapped up but honestly, it doesn’t detract from the overall impact of the book. I have to say that the story is enhanced by the Audible version, which is something I rarely say because I usually need to see the words in print. But the two readers of the book are superb and add a lot of depth to the characters. Honestly, if there’s a movie made of this book, I will probably be disappointed in the actors who portray the characters of Birdie and Meg because they won’t be as good as Jenna Lamia and January Lavoy who narrated this book for Audible.

Trying times in Oxford Mississippi in 1933
Format: Kindle
The Calamity Club features a cast of strong women and several weak men. The official charitable women are not charitable and the unofficial ones are courageous and are filled with good will. Stockett weaves a long tale of poverty, desperation, determination and sisterly love. Only two sets of sisters are blood related but those who are not, bond by working together for a common purpose. Stockett serves up humor and pathos in equal measure with a dash or two of realism. Her character development makes The Calamity Club well worth reading Like The Help, a screenplay should be forthcoming.

So Good!
Format: Hardcover
Some parts of this are reminiscent of The Help, but it is a brand new story. Even though it appears to be a LONG book (650 pages), it goes fast and is hard to put down. The story takes place in Mississippi in the 1930's. 24 year old Birdie travels to see her married sister in Oxford for the purpose of getting some financial help for her family. Her sister Frances married into a seemingly wealthy family, which for reasons that soon become clear, has now fallen on hard times. Eleven year old Meg lives in an orphanage and is treated badly by the volunteers that staff it. If her mom isn't going to come back and get her, then she wants to be adopted as soon as possible, but most people want babies, not older children. Charlie turns up at the house where Birdie is staying with her sister's family. She's bright and helpful, but what's her real story? How are they all connected? This story is at times hilarious and at other times heartbreaking. It has its share of villains, but most of the characters are likeable and you want them to succeed. Just HOW they succeed is the heart of the book, and I won't tell you and spoil the surprise. This is well worth reading, though, and I strongly recommend it.
