After reading the first fifty or so pages, I stopped and thought that surely someone is going to make a movie out of this book. It is definitly the best book I’ve read in years. And Kathryn Stockett truly speaks the voice of southern women. As a Yankee transplant now in her 25th year in the South, this voice I know well and this is “it”.
Fortunately I can happily add that the racist voices you hear in this book are from the past. You would have to dig far and deep here in the South to find these attitudes anymore in educated women. And with that I’m not going to say anything more lest I spoil it for those who haven’t read the book yet. But please, don’t hesitate. It’s wonderful.
To whoever makes this movie, please don’t ruin it by putting someone from up north in it with a fake Southern accent. It will kill the movie.
