About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Enter a vanished and unjust world: Jackson, Mississippi, 1962. Where Black maids raise white children, but aren't trusted not to steal the silver....
There's Aibileen, raising her 17th white child and nursing the hurt caused by her own son's tragic death; Minny, whose cooking is nearly as sassy as her tongue and white Miss Skeeter, home from college, who wants to know why her beloved maid has disappeared.
Skeeter, Aibileen and Minny. No one would believe they'd be friends; fewer still would tolerate it. But as each woman finds the courage to cross boundaries, they come to depend and rely upon one another. Each is in a search of a truth, and together they have an extraordinary story to tell....

Beautiful, touching but funny book.
This book is an absolute must read. It is beautifully written and touches the soul. Anyone doubting the cruelty humanity can commit on humanity needs to read this and learn.

Fantastic. Better than the film!
What an amazing story! Very well written & narrated. I could visualise everyone & every place. Harrowing in places, but also some real emotional bright moments too!

Everything and more
It’s not often I’m stunned but this did it. Such a purity of spirit and soul. The book is amazing anyway but this audio version created so many more deep and beautiful dimensions. Incredible and emotive performances. Not to be missed.

A must read!
After watching the movie several times I wanted to try out the book. I’m so glad I got to read it because it was truly eye-opening and inspiring! Not to mention the narration is brilliant, with Octavia Spencer being the highlight of the whole book!

Brilliant book / story well presented
Liked the balance in the presentation. The main characters were fab. Was a wee bit disappointed that Minnie did not get to live in the wee house on the property. The "yuck" pie was handled well in the telling. This book covers nearly all emotions.
