The story is not without it's moments of extreme sadness. I found myself in tears at one or two points. But it is also filled with a fair few moments of that old heart warming stuff! I really don't want to give any of it away but some of the maids had surprising stories of kindness from their white families, amongst the bleak ignorance.
I recently went to see the film version and it was incredible! I was worried it jjust wouldn't be able to live up to how good the book was (One Day anyone?) but I left with a sigh of relief!
The actresses that play Aibileen, Minny and Skeeter (Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Emma Stone) were so true to how I thought they would be. I find this rarely happens in a book to film adaptation.

I urge you to both read the book and watch the film. Revel in on of the few occasions the book to film craze gets it right!
