Bravo! A most excellent gift from a new author. The individual narratives of several black maids set in 1960's Mississippi give voice to this time in history. When Skeeter, a young, white aspiring writer, wants to record their stories, drama ensues. Filled with humor as well as sorrow, you will have a hard time putting this book down as you find yourself involved in the lives of all the women in this story.
