Price Challenge: The Help, by Kathryn Stockett



Hello friends.

While going through my blogs about the Sabsecheapest price, I realized that much of the last blogs have focused on the latest smart phones and gadgets and were completely techy oriented.
So I thought that today I will deviate from that techy environment of ours and may be drift towards a much sober and relaxed space of the BOOKS.

I remember, some days back I came across a book which, though I didn’t read, but caught my attention. I wrote down the name somewhere and though that may be in coming days I will definitely come back to this one and search more stuff around.
The name of the book was THE HELP, by Kathryn Stockett.
Now if you guys don’t know the author Kathryn Stockett, then definitely it’s not your mistake as this was her debut book.

One fascinating fact about this book is, that this book was rejected by 60 literary agents and when it got finally published it sold five million copies and has spent more than 100 weeks on the The New York Times Best Seller list.

About the Book:

It’s a story of three ordinary women who are about to take one extraordinary step.

First character, 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.

The second lady, 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.

Third and the last character, 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.
