The help is a novel that is set in the 60's in Jackson, Mississippi. It is about a white women who decides to write a book compiling interviews of "colored" maids and what it has been like to work for white families.
It is hard to imagine such blatant racial disparity so recent as the 60's. It depicts the rapidly changing racial inequalities of the time.
The book is a little hard to get into at first due to the prose of the black women. But once I had gotten used to it, I found the book to be a page-turner and finished it in two days.
