The #1 New York Times bestselling novel and basis for the Academy Award–winning film.

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.

So many feelings being struck up by this book. The voice acting is phenomenal and really helped me stay in the story.
It is a relatively sober look at race relations between white people and their domestic help in the south. But there are lots of endearing moments and moments of levity so it’s a reasonably light book.

Amazing acting and a heartfelt story
