The Help by Kathryn Stockett (Book Analysis) : Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Help with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Help by Kathryn Stockett, which is set in the United States of the 1960s when segregation and racism were rife. It centres around a white woman who decides to collect the testimonies of black maids to illustrate segregation, and of the two maids who risk their lives to help her with her project. The novel spent over two years on The New York Times Best Seller list and has been translated into over 40 different languages. Stockett grew up in Missippi and was very close to an African American domestic worker, and this relationship is thought to have inspired her popular debut novel.
