I loved this book – I couldn’t put it down! I loved reading about the strength and determination of the maids – especially Aibileen and Minny. I also loved Miss Skeeter’s character – for risking everything (her friendships, relationships, and complacency of family life) by ultimately doing what’s right and writing the stories that needed to be told.

I can’t tell you if the language and slang is authentic, and I can’t tell you how accurate the descriptions of the “white ladies” planning their “benefits” are, but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that it’s a beautifully written novel that truly tugs at your heart strings. Not every story has a happy ending – that’s real life, but I like to think that Aibileen and Minny (and all the others) go on to live a better life having gotten their voices heard and their stories told.
