I read (listened to) this book last week and it was excellent. The writing was crisp and inviting. The story is told by a white woman and two black maids in Jackson, Mississippi during the 1960's. Each voice tells a different story. After so many hours of listening to the southern drawls, my own speech began to slow down and sound southern. I can totally see why this book is on the best seller list for so many weeks. It is excellent.
