The Help is an amazing first book by Kathryn Stockett , it was quite engrossing , I loved reading it till the end as the story developed.
The book is about black maids in Jackson, MS in the early 1960s where the Civil Rights movement was getting heated.Skeeter Phelan, is a young white woman just graduated from college and wishes to write. She wants to create a novel based on interviews with the black maids .No one wants to cooperate because it's an extremely dangerous task. Soon, Aibileen and Minny, maids of Jackson, come together to help Skeeter with her project. It turns into something so much bigger than any of them expected.
This book is one of my favorites and I recommend everyone read it as its It's complex, deep, entertaining, funny, depressing, inspirational and well written.Kathryn Stockett manages to make characters come to life with her descriptions.
