I highly recommend this book as I found it to be very well written. The characters were likable, and well developed. There were points that I didn't agree with but who am I to argue? Right after reading "The Help", I read another book set in the 60's, "The Wednesday Sisters". It did not hold up too well in comparison to this 1.

I always get impatient with women who are too dependent upon men for their happiness and their reason for living. I know that it was very different in the past. I lived during those times myself. I also remember, vaguely, feeling similarly to the types of dependent women. But I grew out of that and my impatience with characters in books, stems from my own feelings.
