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.
花了一个下午和一个晚上把这本书一气呵成的看完了。入夜后闭上双眼,仿佛仍沉浸其中。 这是一个怎样的故事?简单来说,就是一个白人小姐和两个黑人女佣不顾艰难险阻,勇敢写就《女佣》一书的故事。 艾碧莲、明尼、小雯、西丽、希莉亚、伊丽莎白……这些女人们扮演着不同的角...
評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...
評分终于读完了《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...
評分在火车上,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...
評分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...
