I cannot comment too much on The Help because I have not read it. I would have been interested in reading it if a black woman had written it.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-29708859301018897852015-03-21T13:41:09.461+00:002015-03-21T13:41:09.461+00:00Yes, the book The Help made me quite uncomfortable...Yes, the book The Help made me quite uncomfortable.

I love that commentary on how long it takes for Blanche to acquaint her employers with the fact that she's an actual human being, just as they are. I really must sample this series. I remember hearing it was good when it was first out, and just missed the boat that time. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
