This book is not new and I had been told by many that I must read it. I finally got to it by listening to the book on CD. I heartily recommend this book.
If you haven't read it yet put it on the top of your list! I also recommend listening to the book on CD; the reader does an excellant job with the accents. This book is set in Jackson, Mississippi in the early 1960's. It is a story about white women and their black maids but really the story goes much deeper than this. Stockett develops her charachters well and you really feel like you are part of these women's lives. A movie based on this book comes out this summer, I hope it can do justice to this well written book.
