Jane W edited the summary of The Help Friday, November 20 2009.
Setting is 1962 Jackson, MS. Point of view moves around from certain black maids to one naive white girl, fresh out of college, who wants to be a writer. She is advised to write a book , and submit to a certain editor. Her idea to interview the local maids turns into something none of the characters could have predicted. This book seems so gentle in the way it reads, within people's thoughts, with only limited knowledge of what social revolution is occurring around them. But the message is powerful and the story builds to a satisfying conclusion.
