The Help
Kathryn Stockett
Probably the best book you will read this year!
Mississippi, 1962 and, despite the civil rights movement, the city of Jackson is still split between black and white. When white Miss Skeeter comes home from the North, she decides that it's about time Jackson changed.
She enlists two black maids, Aibileen and Minny, to help her write a book about the real life in white households. The three women form an unlikely friendship, one that grows into something none of them could have imagined, one that will change Jackson forever.
This is a wonderful book, written with as much humour as compassion and full of unforgettable characters. It shows the struggles of the Sixties from a new, refreshing angle – that of the black servants caught between the lure of freedom and the necessity of employment.
Most of all, it's a book you will remember for ages after you finish the last page.
