Description

The Help by Kathryn Stockett (2011, Paperback). The Help is a 2009 novel by American novelist Kathryn Stockett. Set during the early 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi, it focuses on the lives of Black maids working in white households during the civil rights movement. Praised for its unflinching depiction of the lives of these women combined with a pointed sense of humor, The Help went on to be a massive bestseller, selling over five million copies and spending more than a hundred weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list. A film adaptation, directed by Stockett’s childhood friend Tate Taylor and starring Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain, and Octavia Spencer, was nominated for all three performances as well as Best Picture. Exploring themes of racism and the tight bonds that form among oppressed people under those conditions, The Help has become one of the most popular modern novels dealing with the experiences of Black Americans in the South.
