What a book! Recommended by my BFF to read and part of Oprah’s Book Club, I had recently considered reading this book, but wasn’t sure as I am still not sold on contemporary fiction – though from my summer reads, I’m not sure I can say that anymore!

This novel by Kathryn Stockett was a great read. I could hardly stop reading it and that was on my iPad! It had a bit of _Uncle Tom’s Cabin_ feeling to it, but it was much more inspiring. I felt not only the position of the black women who were hired as help, but also the feminist movement that the main character was struggling with. I don’t want to write too much detail about the novel because I definitely recommend this as a must-read.

All I know is that there is no way that I could have lived in these times…I barely make it in my own time…. 😐

More to come…
