Glad this was bumped!
I have to recommend The Help by Stockett. I loved it and did not want it to end. Yes, I am from the South, but I have a good friend from NYC who also loved it, so I don't think it is a regional thing.
Set in Mississippi in the 60's, a white woman secretly records the life stories of the black maids in her town and then publishes them in a book. It is such a great book, wonderful for book clubs, lots to think and talk about. But, it is not heavy handed or preachy in any way. I have not talked to anyone who did not like it. You will fall inlove with the characters.
