The characters are rich , complex
How is the character?
A friend sent The Help to me for Christmas and it was one of the best gifts I received in 2009!  The characters are rich, complex, and pull at your heart on every page. I have passed along this book to other friends who have had the same reaction (walking, eating, sleeping with this book).  I also think it is a particularly poignant book for the generations born in the 70s, 80s, and 90s who can't believe the degree to which bigotry and racial cruelty was an accepted part of American life in the early 60s...not very long ago, indeed!Read this book and pass it along!
