    Jackson, Mississippi, 1962. Aibileen is a black maid raising her 17th white child. Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is the sassiest woman in Mississippi: a wonderful cook with a gossip's tongue. Graduate Skeeter returns from college with ambitions, but her mother will not be happy until she's married. Although world's apart, Skeeter, Aibileen and Minny's lives converge over a clandestine project that will change the town of Jackson forever.

    Story

    I came across this quite by accident,and was so so glad i did.I was transfixed and transported by both the narrators and the characters.What a story,totally captivating in a simple yet unputdownable way,i was hooked from the first chapter to the last one and so sorry when it ended.I feel a void as i do when a good book ends,and this comes into that category.Had me laughing in parts (will not spoil the moment,but the Martian (yes,spelt correctly!!)Luther King story as told to the child was one of those simple yet profound moments of genius by the author)and tears of frustration,sadness and happiness in equal proportion in parts.Wonderful,creative,simple yet effective......best book i have read in a long while.Thank you for bringing it to me.
