This is another book from my favorites pile. Have you read it? It was recommended to me by a friend (thanks Sarah!) when it first came out in 2011 and it is a great one. The movie was excellent, but as always, I lean towards the book first.
The Help tells the story of black maids working in white Southern homes in the early 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi, and of Miss Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, a 22-year-old graduate from Ole Miss, who returns to her family’s cotton plantation, Longleaf, to find that her beloved maid and nanny, Constantine, has left and no one will tell her why. via
So, have you read it? If you haven’t, congratulations! You have an excellent book waiting on you. Let me know what you think of it.
You can find all of the other books I’ve read this year here.
What are you reading right now? I am always looking for another book to read.
I read The Help a few years ago. I was really enjoying it until the chocolate pie incident. I was nauseous reading it. Seriously! Just thinking about it makes me queasy. Watched the movie (I’m an idiot!) and again, nauseous. It would have been a great book if not for that.
Yes!
