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.
小说讲述了上个世纪60年代美国南部三个普通女人试图改变她们的生活与世界。1962年的密西西比,距离奥巴马当选总统还有47个年头,那时候白人男子至高无上,女性最体面的工作是当家庭主妇,黑人女性一律是佣人。大部分人从一出生开始,人生轨迹就已经注定。作品刻画了艾碧莲、明尼、雯三个人物形象:两个黑人女佣,一个大学刚毕业、涉世未深的白人小姐,在温暖人性的聚拢和激励下,以匿名写作的方式讨论身份和差异的问题,表达人类最基本的对梦想与平等的渴求,激起了巨大的社会反响。毫无疑问,在冲突不断、社会动荡的危险年代,这是一条披荆斩棘的救赎之路,更是一场恐惧与勇气之战。谁也不曾想到,这微不足道的轻轻一振,竟如一只热带蝴蝶般在社会上掀起了一场强猛的“黑色变革旋风”。
