About The Help Book By Kathryn Stockett
If there ever was a powerful book about the truth of racism in America, I think Kathryn Stockett’s The Help is that book. The author is subtle in her message and keeps you turning pages.
What really surprised me was how the author has managed to create a funny, emotional, and touching story about such a grave matter. Not just racism, The Help novel also touches on themes like feminism and the status of women in society, in a marriage, and even among other women.
All the magic of this story, I thought, was in the charming and endearing characters of the story. My favourite was Aibeleen.
If you haven’t read this story yet, you’re missing out on a significant literary work. Do read this book.
