The Help

The latest book of the BBCE:

My book club read The Help by Kathryn Stockett this last month. It's entirely different than anything else I have ever read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The author is a white woman who used to have a black maid...she writes this book from the perspective of three different women, one white and two black. It's set in 1963-4 and tells a story of these three women embarking on something brave and dangerous. You will root for certain characters and wish the slow and painful demise of others while being humbled by the situation these black women were in everyday.
