The Help

Last week, finished reading "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. I have not been so moved and touched by a book in a long while and started tearing up when I reached the last chapter as the author revealed that she was motivated to write the book in honour of her grandmother's help. Even though it's been a week, I still can't stop thinking about the stories of the women in it. Just amazing.

I wonder whether we'll be seeing a local version of it in years to come, but somehow "The Bibik" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
