She stole my life and made a movie

She stole my life and made a movie - Books | Tonight | IOL.co.za: "Millions have read Kathryn Stockett’s bestselling novel The Help with a mixture of fascination and raw, often tearful, emotion. Based on the lives of black servants in America’s Southern states of the Sixties, it is a sharply observed portrait of a racially charged, segregationist world that some might say has barely passed.

It has also proved a literary phenomenon, selling five million copies worldwide, 500,000 of them in Britain. And next month Disney’s film version will open here."
