I had a babysitter, not. Nanny, housekeeper or domestic help. As a mom now I can't imagine relinquishing so much of the domesticity in order to go do social things. Not a world I am familiar with. It makes me think of Kate Chopin. Just reread The awakening not to long ago, and I have the same feelings about that character too.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14852362833362246151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262347950626989297.post-32576498204419131342012-10-29T16:50:14.554-05:002012-10-29T16:50:14.554-05:00Soooo good.

I loved the dialect and growing up near MS and having friends from there - I could just hear each of those characters. You can happily claim Ms. Stockett!

It was sad and funny and engaging. When talking about race relations I love when authors show the microcosm---because really it is all about those personal relationships. I had a full time babysitter as a child, and I can attest to the deep love I have for he lady who raised me---if she were of another race, in that place and time, I can only imagine that it would soften my view away from the norm of the day.
