This book is a 10 out of 10.
It is about black maids working for snotty white people in the 1960's. The setting is Jackson, Mississippi. THese are the most prejudiced white people that I have ever encountered. The book is written by a white girl ( Skeeter) in Jackson, Mississippi who comes home from college to find out her mother fired her beloved black nanny, because the Nanny's daughter shows up and the daughter is white. Skeeter's mother fires the nanny because the daughter of the nanny helps herself to refreshments at a "white" women's social function. These black maids have a sense of humor and you find yourself laughing.
