Description



The wildly popular New York Times bestseller and reading group favorite

Aibileen is a black maid in 1962 Jackson, Mississippi, who's always taken orders quietly, but lately she's unable to hold her bitterness back. Her friend Minny has never held her tongue but now must somehow keep secrets about her employer that leave her speechless. White socialite Skeeter just graduated college. She's full of ambition, but without a husband, she's considered a failure. Together, these seemingly different women join together to write a tell-all book about work as a black maid in the South, that could forever alter their destinies and the life of a small town...

    Really good book, was a nice read, easy and it flowed. Interesting topic also, different from other things I normally read. Would definetly recommend it, even if you are not interested in race issues.

    I've watched the movie a few times and my daughter in law gave me the book for Christmas. I couldn't put it down! I love the way it was written and I hope this Author has many more tales to tell. It is hard to believe this is her first book...it is that good. If you aren't a sit outside summer reading person, then buy it and cozy under a blanket or by a fire this fall, you won't be disappointed.

    A very touching novel! I hardly put it down until I finished reading it. A great story and it's very well written. For certain part of the book, I actually laughed and cried as if I have known the characters myself and they were with me. Now it makes me really want to watch the movie.

    A great read, that you will not tire of. Multiple first person narration keeps the book moving quickly and it is a touching story. A great airplane read.

    One of my favourite books of all time, accompanied by an amazing movie. It reminded me of the book "Secret Life of Bees" because of the race factor. I highly recommend it to everyone of all ages.

    I could not put this book down, I picked it up one morning and did not stop reading until I was done later that night. Funny and makes you think. Decent writing style, a good read for anyone.
