Here's a book for teenagers and adults . Stockett has woven a wonderful story of women in the early 1960's Mississippi. A great book club discussion. Our book club met just recently and we had awesome conversations. Thanks, ladies!
The author's website has resources for groups to foster discussion. A study in character, history and social questioning provide the cornerstones for this read. Check out the review from the New York Times - The New York Times - "In 'The Help,' Kathryn Stockett's button-pushing, soon to be wildly popular novel...The two principal maid characters...leap off the page in all their warm, three dimensional glory. Book groups armed with hankies will talk and talk...[A] winning novel." Over 35, 000 reviews on goodbook.com, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4667024.The_Help, most gave 4 or 5 stars *. There is an interview with the author on NPR, 8 minutes, check it out. Word has it, there is a film in the works. I'd love to know who you think should play the four main characters.
