Released 10 yrs ago (12/11/2013 UTC) at Algiers, 40 Brattle Street, Harvard Sq. in Cambridge, Massachusetts USA
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Planned for release at December 2013 Boston BookCrossers Meetup
Just picked this up.
The book is slow but steady. A very poignant description of the lives of the "help" but doesn't do much to deconstruct the racism of that time and it also does describe what precipitates the first two maids to participate in the book. Most things were resolved in the end but I hated Mae Mobley being separated from Aibileen. Wish there was an epilogue 5 or 10 years later so we could see how it all turned out.
"Orphan" at our cozy Jan. 2014 Boston meetup, holding for now.
Donated to a residents library at short term rehab/long term skilled nursing facility,
Chelsea, MA. Thank you.
