Title : The Help - Kathryn Stockett - book

Summary :

In Jackson, Mississippi, white people's homes are cleaned, cooked, and cared for by Black women. It's 1962, and racial laws are in force. In forty years of service, Aibileen has learned to hold her tongue. Her sassy best friend, Minny, has just been fired. If things get worse, she'll have to look for work in another city. Maybe even move to another state, like Constantine, who hasn't been seen here since, for reasons unmentionable, the Phelans fired her.

But Skeeter, the Phelans' daughter, isn't like the others. Returning to Jackson after graduation, she's determined to find out why Constantine, who lovingly raised her for 22 years, left without even a note.

A young white bourgeois woman and two black maids. No one would believe their friendship; even fewer would tolerate it. Yet, driven by a deep desire to change things, despite their fear, they will unite their destinies and, in great secrecy, write a moving story.

Exciting, funny, moving, The Color of Feelings has conquered America with its unforgettable characters. Selling over two million copies, this debut novel, a true cultural phenomenon across the Atlantic, is a pure joy to read.
