Un retrato soberbio de la comunidad judía en Damasco a principios del siglo XX. En la tradición de las grandes historias que nos han acercado al Medio Oriente, A donde tú vayas, iré es un prodigioso relato que se nutre de la cosmovisión bíblica y que fascinará a los lectores de novelas como El callejón de los milagros, de Naguib Mahfuz; El niño de arena, de Tahar Ben Jelloun; El librero de Kabul, de Åsne Seierstad; o Cometas en el cielo, de Khaled Hosseini. Siria, 1912. Latife, una hermosa niña de ocho años vive con sus padres en la bella ciudad de Damasco. A pesar de pertenecer a la (aún) opulenta comunidad judía, su familia se ve condenada a la miseria y al ostracismo debido a que su madre jamás pudo concebir un hijo varón. Tras la repentina muerte de su madre y el abandono de su padre, la suerte le depara ser acogida en la casa de un rico benefactor, donde encuentra la tranquilidad y, tras convertirse en mujer, también el amor. La guerra, producto del desmoronamiento del Imperio Otomano, pone fin a la libertad y a la paz de los sirios, arrasando a su paso con la mítica ciudad de Damasco. La última oportunidad de Latife para reencontrar la felicidad depende de un gran viaje a un destino muy lejano: México será la Tierra Prometida no sólo para Latife y su familia, sino para varios habitantes del Sham, quienes tendrán que reajustar su vida a nuevas y extrañas tradiciones, a pesar del dolor y la incertidumbre que esto conlleva. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A superb portrait of the Jewish community in Damascus at the beginning of the twentieth century.In the tradition of the great stories that have brought us closer to the Middle East, Wherever You Go, I Will Go is a marvelous tale that draws from biblical worldview and will fascinate readers of novels such as Midaq Alley, by Naguib Mahfuz; The Sand Child, by Tahar Ben Jelloun; The Bookseller of Kabul, by Åsne Seierstad, or Comets in the Sky, by Khaled Hosseini.
Syria, 1912. Latife, a lovely eight-year-old girl, lives with her parents in the beautiful city of Damascus. Although they belong to the--still--opulent Jewish community, her family is condemned to live ostracized and in misery because her mother was never able to conceive a son. After her mother's sudden death and being abandoned by her father, the fates will take Latife to a rich benefactor's home, where she will find peace and, after becoming a woman, also love. The war, consequence of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, puts an end to the freedom and quiet of all Syrians, destroying the mythical city of Damascus in its wake. Latife's last chance to find happiness once again hinges on a great voyage to a faraway place--Mexico will become the Promise Land not only for Latife and her family, but for several inhabitants of Sham, who will have to readjust their lives to new and odd traditions, in spite of the pain and the uncertainty this entails.

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.

Outstanding book
Format: Kindle
I loved this book so much that I'm sad that I've finished it. The story is fascinating, the characters well developed and the themes were important and heart wrenching. This is definitely one of the best books I ever read. I can't summarize the story without spoilers and I would not want to deny you the opportunity to enjoy the unfolding of this beautiful story. This is a book I will not forget and I look forward to Kathryn Society's next wonderful book. She is a tremendous author. Thank you Kathryn for the gift of this book!

Worth the Wait
Format: Kindle
Kathryn Stockett's The Calamity Club is well worth the wait, just as good or even better than The Help. This historical novel has all the literary ingredients to be added to the classics. This book is both engaging and horrifying since it reveals the cruel beliefs in Mississippi's past and explains the rigid mind-set of contemporary politics and culture. I was incensed by the ignorance and lack of empathy. However, as throughout history, the theme of women helping other women gave the story conflict, suspense, and lots of humor. The characters and plot are so engaging I would like a follow-up story, maybe a part two. I am ready for a movie version, if Meg and Birdie are well cast. The Calamity Club was worth the wait!

Entertaining
Format: Kindle
I read this book on Kindle in about 3 days. Birdie Calhoun, one of the main narrators, has got to be one of the most likable main characters a book could create. She’s practical, God-fearing, driven, smart, and loyal. Meg, the second narrator, is witty and humorous to listen to, especially since you’re seeing things through the eyes of an eleven year old orphan. There are a few big reveals throughout the book, and around the midpoint there is a shift in storyline which will tell you how the book got its name. I saw some reviews say the book is a bit long, which doesn’t bother me. I see how the length may be necessary given the fact that the author had to bounce between two separate story lines and then merge them in the end. My only feedback about the length would be there is a lot of time and detail during the middle of the book (especially Meg’s time with her adoptive family) but less time spent on the ending, leaving things a bit rushed and many characters’ fate ambiguous. I found myself wanting more closure for characters Frances & Mrs. Tartt, as well as the boarders such as Flossy.
On a historical level, this book provides context for a dark time in America where society wanted to annex anyone deemed undesirable or peculiar, especially promiscuous women. Society was hyper focused on separating the pious from the “imbeciles” and punished anyone whose lives didn’t fit the perfect Christian mold. This caused characters like Frances and Mrs. Tartt to be obsessed with their reputation, and fear of tainted reputation is a huge factor in decision making amongst the main characters. Birdie, Meg, and Charlie seem to be the main characters willing to take huge risks and sacrifices for those that they love. This book inspired me to do some of my own research and I learned something new about American history.
