This is an entertaining and also poignant story of courage in the face of racial oppression in Jackson, Mississippi, 1962. During the Jim Crow days prior to and on the precipice of the Civil Rights movement, the black housekeepers and maids raised the children of elite white families and cleaned their houses. However, they were expected to use a separate bathroom ("Negroes carry different diseases from white people"), eat from separate dishes, and refrain from opinions on racial inequality. Crossing boundaries could lead to fines or imprisonment, or even death. It is from these indignities that "the help" are aided by a budding, brave, young white journalist named Skeeter. Told in separate voices in alternating chapters--Abileen, Minnie (two black maids), and Skeeter--the author is able to give an unvarnished view of social injustice and the individual lives it affected in the Deep South. Through Skeeter's clandestine meetings with twelve black maids, the stories of their lives are culled covertly from in-depth interviews with these women. Over a period of several months, she sets out to complete an intrepid but protectively anonymous profile of a town and time under siege of segregation. But she took some brazen risks by including material that was specific to Jackson and its inhabitants. Skeeter plans to submit her finished book to an agent in New York, risking alienation from friends and family and even criminal prosecution if her identity (and the identity of the maids) is discovered. The prose is lilting, crisp; the tone is lively and droll, igniting the serious subject matter through irony and illusory irreverence. I turned the pages eagerly as the tension mounted and headed toward a dramatic climax. I was very impressed with this first-novel achievement by Stockett. She poised compassionately on a tightrope of pity, honesty, empathy, and all the inscrutable emotions that stretched between a black person and a white one in the days of segregation. Her candor and intimacy hinted at autobiographical moments. The characters were largely three-dimensional and vibrant, although the story is dotted with some one-note figures. Additionally, there were a few plot devices/ techniques that were a little contrived, a common occurrence with first time authors. The middle section lagged in a few places and the pace briefly lost some of its buoyancy, but the story overcame this idle interval and advanced to an exciting denouement. I was not ready to let the characters go when I finished the novel. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This is maybe a 3.5, but I think it would be a solid 4 if I could read Japanese. The novel is a traditional police procedural but with an unusual twist: the murderer and motive are revealed in the first few pages. The rest of the book swings back and forth between the police detective who is trying to solve the crime and the murderers, who do not want to get caught. In between is a quiet math teacher who knows more than he is saying. I liked the story and while I guessed a small part of the ending, it really was a surprise. But I got the sense that the translation did not pick up on the subtleties of language and style; it lacks color and many of the dramatic scenes fall a little flat. I was disappointed to see the second book was translated by the same person.

Love this book. Jane is a great role model for myself and for other women. Mr. Rochester is a sly dog but so loveable.

This is a story of four women who start off as roommates in their early twenties, living in Manhattan in 1963. The author follows them until 2000, discussing the many changes in their lives and the world around them. Through all that occurs, their friendship remains- a nice reminder about the important role of friends in our lives.

Roberston Davies is a master of quiet understatement and the hidden subplot. He writes so beautifully, with such care and mastery of English that he is a pleasure to read. The protagonist is Dr Jonathon Hulla, a physician and psychotherapist, who observes events with the same quiet neutrality that he observes his patients. The characters are fascinating and the central theme surrounding the death of a saintly old priest unravels many secrets.
