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.
我时常真心的羞愧:我太狭隘了。 昨天花了一整天的时间,一口气读完了《相助》, 明天要去雨枫书店,和水木丁对谈这本书。 很多电影是电影史上的经典,明明知道技法牛逼,观念牛逼,艺术牛逼, 但是它走不进我的心里,我不喜欢它们。 很多电影只是电影史上的二流电影,甚至一...
评分在火车上,我读完《相助》,眼眶潮热。这感觉可真是久违了。 从内容和外观上来看,这书都算得上厚重,可读来的感觉却是轻快的。作者的文笔干净,纯净如水,译者的用词到位,优雅从容。它是小说,可我更倾向于把它看作一本启蒙书,有关人与人之间,人与社会之间爱与被爱的启蒙...

评分终于读完了《相助》的电子版,在这之前我从来没有耐心在电脑上读一本书超过10页,可是,这本书让我等不及购买,我想我不能容忍那种等待。 最近我在给孩子读法布尔的《昆虫记》,里面各种各样的昆虫让孩子感到新奇,每次在介绍一个新的昆虫之前,儿子都会问我:“妈妈...
评分It's been a long time since I was so addicted to a novel, but this one left me empty, or even a kind of loss when I finally finished it. The review says it's stunning or whatever, which is true indeed, but for me the word really should be breath-taking. W...
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--
评分写得太好,但不推荐给对美国南部和civil right不感兴趣的人。
评分2020年读完的第一本书。其实主题很好,可总感觉不够精练,skeeter的角色也不够丰满和有信服力,一个勇于背叛父辈文化的人,面对社区小霸王却唯唯诺诺不堪一击,所有故事都没有结局,看着很不解气。
评分不知道现在的时代还有种族歧视么 应该有的吧 倒是奥巴马都是美国总统了呢
评分写的很好..就是人物跳来跳去的有点乱- -
