I know that this book came out a few years ago, but I never got around to reading it until now. I loved it so much that I just had to share it. It's been added to my short list of all time favourite books. If you loved "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett, then you'll enjoy this one too...and if you've read this but haven't tried "The Help" yet, I highly recommend it as well. This book, like The Help, is set in the 1960's old south and though it deals with racial segregation and civil rights, there are just so many other layers, including a young girl's coming of age, and the power of the female bond. It's powerful, inspiring, and very touching, and you really won't regret reading it. I'm looking forward to watching the movie version. I love reading books first, and then seeing their film adaptations and comparing my vision with their creation. The movies never compare to the books, but there is something cool about seeing the story come to life.
