Rachel Durazzani says:
The Help is a historical fiction about black women and their white employers in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s. It is told from the perspective of three women - two servants and one white woman - who each take turns telling their stories. It is such a fascinating look into the south and what it was like to live in pre-segregation America. I found myself completely invested in each of the characters, and at times I felt like I was transplanted to the deep south. I was so sad when the book came to an end and have thought about it so many times since I finished. Definitely my best read of the summer and one that I will read again.
I would give it a PG-13 rating for some strong language and disturbing descriptions.
Thank you, Rachel! --The Fiction Fairy
