I bought this book for book club. It was the best sounding of the choices offered and our vote was unanimous for The Help. I really was not expecting much. Boy was I surprised! This was definitely a hard to put down page turner! I was hooked almost from the beginning. The characters are so easy to relate to! I didn’t see how a white lady was going to be able to write with the voices of civil rights era black women from the South. I was wrong. The women are easy to bond with and as the reader I could feel the pain and outrage and acceptance and fear of being a black woman in a white man’s home & world. Just as in the book, as a white woman I had pre-conceived notions as to how this book told thru a black woman’s eyes would progress. I am so glad I read it! I encourage everyone to reach out of their safety margin and read this novel!
