***The phenomenal international bestseller that inspired the Oscar-nominated film*** ‘Harper Lee’s classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird has changed lives. Its direct descendent The Help has the same potential . . . an astonishing feat of accomplishment’ Daily Express. Jackson, Mississippi, 1962: a world where black maids raise white children but aren’t trusted not to steal the silver. Aibileen is raising her seventeenth white child, quietly nursing the grief of her own son’s tragic death. Minny’s cooking is nearly as sassy as her tongue. And white Miss Skeeter has come home from college with one burning question: what happened to the beloved maid who raised her? Three women who would never be expected to form a friendship — let alone depend on one another. But as each finds the courage to cross the boundaries that define their world, they discover that together they have an extraordinary story to tell. ‘A big, warm girlfriend of a book’ The Times. ‘The other side of Gone with the Wind — and just as unputdownable’ The Sunday Times.
