Book Review: The Help

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is the first book I've read in a long time that I absolutely didn't want to put down. Part of the fascination is that the setting (Mississippi, 1963)is one I know little about. I remember the Civil Rights movement from a northern perspective. This book gives a glimpse into what it might have been like to be a "colored" domestic, as well as the consequences for a young woman who challenged societal norms.
