I have just finished reading "The Help." I loved it! I couldn't put it down. It tells the story of Skeeter, a young white woman, and Aibileen, a black housekeeper in the South in the 1960's. The book is written in various voices which really makes the story fun. Skeeter discovers what it is like to be a black maid working for white people by interviewing maids of her community with the help of Aibileen. An unlikey friendship emerges and lines are gloriously crossed. It is a funny, witty and an eye opening book. I highly recommend it.
