The Help by Kathryn Stockett
This is one of my favorite books. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it.
Kathyrn Stockett writes in a deceptively simple manner, painting wonderful pictures of the three strong women in the book and their relationship. She paints a first-hand account of life in Mississippi in the 60’s with all its wonders and shortcomings. You’re immersed in a world you may or may not find familiar, but you care about the women. You wince went hurtful or ugly things happen. Your heart goes out. It’s real. A strong story of the power of people to make a difference.
I read the book years ago, and then got the movie that was made from the book. Both are wonderful and should be treasured.
I don’t know if Kathryn Stockett has written more since this, her first novel, but I’m going to find out.
