Kathryn Stockett was born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi. After graduating from the University of Alabama with a degree in English and Creative Writing, she moved to New York City where she worked in magazine publishing and marketing for nine years. She currently lives in Atlanta with her husband and daughter. This is her first novel.
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.
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.
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.
“从没人写过这样的书,这将是本史无前例的书,完全崭新的视角。”用书中评价他们写的那本书的评价来评价这本书,我想也完全合适。 小说主要讲述了两个黑人女佣和一个白人大学女毕业生共同创作一本关于美国南方黑人女佣自己故事的书。她们写的是一本怎样的书?艾碧莲问雯,你到...
評分文/严杰夫 回顾上个世纪60年代的美国,对于我们这些“第三只眼”来说,可能会产生如下疑问:19世纪60年代经过南北战争后,黑人奴隶不是已经得到解放了么,但在100年后的20世纪60年代,美国却仍然存在着严重的种族问题。显然,被玛格丽特·米切尔感动过的我们,对美国种族问...
評分It's been a long time since I was so addicted to a novel, but this one left me empty, or even a kind of loss when I finally finished it. The review says it's stunning or whatever, which is true indeed, but for me the word really should be breath-taking. W...
評分“文化从来不是流水线能够打造出来的,文化要靠时间和心灵悉心酿造,是一代代人共同的精神成果,是自然积淀而成。”冯骥才先生的说法在一本美国人的小说中得到了印证,这就是美国作家凯瑟琳 斯多科特的《相助》,书中用一条爱的主线对那个种族歧视年代的人性做了鞭辟入里的分析...

獲得經曆很偶然 讀的曆程也奇葩 高三一年斷斷續續 好歹是看完物歸原主瞭 這書也去過不少地方--
评分飛機上看完,很不錯。雖然裏麵有不少橋段是很經典的方式所以未免有點老套,但是勝在語言有趣,看得齣作者很用心,的確不同人稱就有完全不同的風格。人物活靈活現,相當引人入勝,不然我也不會大感冒的十幾小時不睡撐著看完。話說此書是我在我們樓下的basement撿的,以後決定常去撿。
