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.
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.
''Once upon a day there's an alien called Martian Luther King, people were mean to him because his skin colour's green. ''
评分如果按原著的标准,电影剧本的改编算是很失败的。本来明明可以更有时代感更有冲突性更饱满而强韧的。Skeeter遗失装稿子的手袋,乡村俱乐部对质,KKK夜袭事件,教堂集会,Aibileen向Yule提出邀约,这些都是背景或细节上的关键,不但雕塑了人物个性,也更强调change的必要性,将心动化为行动的勇气。倒是skeeter的爱情戏可以删,Yule向Hilly借贷的情节也完全可以带过。电影将时代风云变成了众女仆为私意团结起来打倒Hilly这个大boss的过程,格局立刻变得很小。改编得太小家了。
评分you is kind. you is smart. you is important. and don't you ever forget that.
评分花了快一个星期断断续续读完了。作者的文字很有力量。看到最后我知道了,很大程度上她是在写自己的故事,所以感情那么真挚。11年的时候看了电影,那时候被黑人遇袭,aibileen被司机赶下车在黑暗中恐惧地回家那一段吓到不行,不是因为恐怖,而是我能感觉到一部分她的恐惧,在一个不由自己主宰的世界生存,甚至不能确保自己的安全。那时候我觉得人性很可怕,那段历史很可怕。我们瞥到的只是一角,而真正的历史呢?我应该没有勇气面对。
评分i got the 2009 penguin ed., the pace of the book's excellent, and it gives laughs so far. Wanna finish it b/f the movie's on.//The content is Undeniably powerful, so far.// Now that i've to say, it is really SOMETING 'bout something, after the long-time enjoyable reading.
“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...

评分“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...
评分你喜欢一本书,很多时候是因为写的是你的日常生活,这个时候,这本书就是你解决问题发泄情感的一本手册。但另一些时候,也可能是因为这本书正好跟你的频率节奏一致,产生了共鸣。比方说《相助》就是这样的一本书。 种族问题在当代的中国很少成为问题,但这不代表这本书你看不到...
评分我觉得,所有现实主义作品都是在重申常识,而最基本的常识可以概括为:爱心,正义,善良。看上去挺简单,但我敢说,人生短暂,大部分人终其一生也未必能够搞清楚这三件常识。恐怕有史以来打着正义旗号的恶行罄竹难书—谁会大声宣布自己是在作恶呢?而愚蠢的善行也给世界带来许...
