Kathryn Stockett was born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi. After graduating from the University of Alabama with a degree in English and Creative Writing, she moved to New York City where she worked in magazine publishing and marketing for nine years. She currently lives in Atlanta with her husband and daughter. This is her first novel.
Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.
Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t.

评分刚拿到这本书的时候,心里说,幸好是现在,幸好为避免思考力下降,遂重燃知晓陌生世界的兴趣。否则我不太可能自汪洋书海中独捡来这一本——如果说如今的书为吸引眼球都难免盛装而来,那么这本书则可谓衣着平朴,淡淡的黄色封面,毫无慑人心魄之感。而题目“相助”又是不是能一...

评分写的很好..就是人物跳来跳去的有点乱- -
评分获得经历很偶然 读的历程也奇葩 高三一年断断续续 好歹是看完物归原主了 这书也去过不少地方--
评分文字思想本身没有太出彩的地方,胜在流畅易读,不同人称视角转换也很自然。这是我读的最快的原文书之一。
