The Help
The Help takes place during the 1960s civil rights movement. One white woman, Skeeter, collects stories from a number of black women and publishes them in a book. The black women tell the stories of how they are treated, and the book does a really good job of describing the happenings and emotions of the time in a G rated format.
The book was easy to read, and once I'd started, I couldn't put it down. I even gave the book to my young teen to educate her about that time.
Then, as a group we went to see the movie together, and found it to be very true to the book. No wonder the book was a best seller, I think any book club would enjoy reading it together.
Here's the movie:
