Although a work of fiction, for those of us who remember the not too distant past, The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a vivid reminder of how events unfolded in the early to mid 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi. Told from the point of view of three women, one a privileged twenty-something white woman living on a cotton plantation, and two African American domestic maids, The Help is a riveting narrative of what life was like in the deep south during this turbulent time in history. Stockett’s writing is insightful - often troubling, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny but always thought provoking. Highly recommended.
For adults.
