This book explores segregation in America and a white woman's attempt to help 'the help'. Two maids and one white woman tell the story, enabling the reader to understand all opinions. It was unputdownable and excellently told from beginning to end. Stockett's skill has enabled me to gain historical perspective on a major issue as well as an emotional understanding of the people at the time by relating to her characters, which were all believable.
