I picked this book for my book club and I am really happy with my pick.
This story pulled at my heartstrings. Stockett did a wonderful job at bringing these characters to life for me. I was amazed Stockett's debut novel was so genuine, well written, and amazing with it being her first. I felt her dialogue felt very natural considering she is a white woman writing as a southern balck woman during the 60s. Her story was believeable, genuine-so much so I bawled like a baby more than once.
I loved the relationships she built up in the story. Even though there were boundaries between the help and the famiiles, there was also this unspoken bond. The bosses had this attitude as if I can speak ill of my help but God help anyone else that dare say anything because that will be there ass. The love between the children and the black women that rasied them was so intense you can feel it for yourself as you read the words off the page.
