The Help

Kathryn Stockett: The help. Fine copy. Text in english. Roman fra 1960’ernes Mississippi. Den nye racelov ophæver adskillelsen mellem sorte og hvide, meget imod de hvides vilje. En gruppe sorte tjenestekvinder fortæller deres livshistorier til en bog og bringer sig selv i fare i et samfund, som ikke tåler kritik af raceforholdene In Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962, there are lines that are not crossed. With the civil rights movement exploding all around them, three women start a movement of their own, forever changing a town and the way women, black and white, mothers and daughters, view one another.
