The Help :) .

Ah, what can I even say about this beautiful beautiful book! 💓The story is based on events that happened in the ‘60s, at a time where coloured people were differentiated from the Whites. The book talks about the The help (coloured women), who go through hardships and pain of leaving behind their own kids at home to look after the white kids. Their unconditional love towards the babies that they look after, and the heart-wrenching pain that they face when they turn out to be just like their mean mothers. I was shocked and pained to see how they were treated to such an extent that they had to use a separate coloured bathroom! The Help, silent for decades, finally open up when a white woman (Miss Skeeter) offers to write a book about them. The book brings out so many emotions that range from love to anger to hatred and sacrifice. I had watched the movie years ago and when I found this book, I knew I had to pick it up. Stunning! .
