The story-telling in this book was captivating. Initially I was not sure that the topic would be all that interesting, but once started, the story takes you in and it is difficult to set the book down. Stockett is a gifted story teller no doubt. Although fiction, the accounts of the maids and their travails are probably not far from much of what was going on at the time. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, the characters, the plot. I cannot wait to see what else the author will write. Best book I'vd read in a while!
