You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll be outraged, and then you'll stand up and cheer! This is a GREAT southern fiction book about a white girl, Skeeter, who keeps company with a couple of black maids in Mississippi during the early 1960's. This is the first novel by the author, but I sure hope it won't be her last. I cannot more highly recommend this book to anyone! The only disappointment I had was when the book ended I found myself wanting to read more.
