The Calamity Club
Set in Depression-era Oxford, Mississippi, this playlist leans into quiet resilience, class boundaries, and the slow tightening of fate around Meg and Birdie. The music shifts between intimate, porch-light melancholy and broader “road-and-chance” atmosphere, with cinematic instrumentation to keep you anchored while you read.
