The help- Kathryn Stockett





A book enjoyed by all. A very touching story based around black women known as The Help. They cuddle, dress, bath, feed & love the white children they care for however have to have separate bowls, cutlery and toilets! All through the beginning of the book we imagined this was set a long time ago, however as songs & new items are mentioned you realise this was set more recently.
Beautiful written, you can picture the characters & may shed a tear or two.
Definitely a recommend read.
As a book club we are watching the film will let you know what we think.

I loved the book and thought the movie did it justice.

Fantastic book giving us insight into a world that seems so long gone even though it wasn't all that long ago at all. Really enjoyable read and very touching. Loved it!
