Helpful Score: 7

Addictive from the very first page, this fiction novel examines what it's like to be black, white, rich, and poor in Mississippi during the early 60's. Told from the perspective of three very different characters, the book tackles racial, social, and class tensions with honesty and poignancy. I laughed, cried, and saw a part of myself in each of the characters.

I highly recommend buying this book; you will want to read it over and over again. Excellent debut from Kathryn Stockett.
