Additional reading

Hi
You may remember I wasnt sure which book to choose for my selection out of "The Help" or "A Cargo of Women" and I ended up choosing the later because of the Australian connection. Well I read the "The Help" whilst we were camping on the weekend and I highly recommend it.

"The Help" by Kathryn Stockton is on Oprah's Bookclub list amongst many others. Whilst I was researching what would be a good book for my selection this book just kept coming up and I was this close to choosing it when I came across the other.

I can barely beleive that I live in a world that barely 10 years before I was born black people were being murdered, beaten and generally treated as less than human and any white person perceived to be treating them better were also persecuted.

The women in this book were strong women who stood up for them selves in a dangerous world. Definately worth a read.
