Kathryn stocketts the help7/8/2023 ![]() Leefolt is a quintessential man-of-the-house character. Johny Foote, Celia’s husband, is a husband of every woman’s dream, while Mr. ![]() ![]() I would also like to mention the variety in the male characters that the author offers. The characters are so real and so endearing, you’ll imagine them before your very eyes. You will hate Hilly, you won’t care about Elizabeth, you’ll love Skeeter, you’ll want to hug Minny, but you’d want someone like Aibileen to hold your finger for you. Like in the last chapter covering Miss Skeeter when she mulls – wasn’t that the point of the book? For women to realize, We are just two people. I kept crossing my fingers hoping, the trio endured till the very end.Īnd I cannot even begin to describe the lessons of humanity, kindness, and respect that the author hands out very subtly. It kept provoking me to think- oh no, what is going to happen now. There was always some kind of suspense building up. ![]() It’s an absolutely domestic story, and yet Kathryn Stockett managed to keep my curiosity piqued throughout until the last page. I think it’s one of the books that I would say lived up to its hype and deserves much, much more. There’s also a heartfelt chapter in the end by the author about her maid she had while growing up. ![]() The book has thirty-four chapters with the beginning and ending chapters by my favorite character, Aibileen. The story moves forward through the narratives of the three central characters. ![]() A Fiery Flying Roll by Abiezer Coppe7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
