Do you really love underground through Safety trolley ?
The Help brought back to mind the time my mother and I went shopping at Fort Worth’s Monnig’s Department Store in the early ’60s. I vividly remember drinking from the Colored water fountain and being disappointed that the water was the same old color as always. Mother explained what the sign really meant, and thus I was introduced to The Way Things Are.
Skeeter Phelen accepts her privileged status as just the way things are. Growing up in Jackson, Mississippi, she has no idea that her family’s Negro maid might feel anything but gratitude for her employers. Even a degree from Ole Miss fails to educate her to the plight of Blacks in America. But returning home opens her eyes to the arrogance of her peers and the longsuffering of a group of black women she has always taken for granted. Two maids, Aibileen and Minny, courageously agree to tell their stories to Skeeter for inclusion in a written exposé that Skeeter hopes to submit to a New York publisher. Their collaboration breaks down the barriers between the classes, and convinces them all that they have more in common than they thought.
Kathryn Stockett writes her story in three distinct voices–Skeeter’s, Aibileen’s and Minny’s. Her expert depiction of Southern dialect adds flare to an already gripping story. I even read parts aloud in order to savor the flavor of the South.
This book is an excellent read, one I will come back to again and again.
