I couldn't put it down and when I wasn't reading, I was wondering where she was going with the story. I loved the fact that it jumped from one person to another and gave their stories. Was some what disappointed because you don't know how things worked out. Like---Where was the one maid's daughter? I thought it might turn out to be Miss Skeeter and did the maids keep their jobs with their white employers. Will there be another book to answer these questions, I sure hope so. Will gladly buy it!!! Good writing.
