– Her er det mange elementer som er flettet sammen på mesterlig vis. Kahtryn Stockett skriver nært og hjertevarmt om miljøet i sør-statene i USA på 60-tallet, og tar med leseren inn på kjøkken, opp i sofaen og inn i hodene på tre sterke kvinner. Denne romanen er som en lang sommerferie full av fristelser, men også skuffelser og tårer, og jeg anbefaler den til alle som liker å kjenne at det river litt i hjerterota.

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...

– Anbefales på det sterkeste! Lettlest, fin bok som bør leses på engelsk da boken er skrevet på en herlig måte med "slang".
