Heartbreaking. The way the these women could lead such lives of subjucation, horror, and intellectual stagnation yet still retain passion and the capacity for fierce love is unbelievable. The story is told with such simplicity, never dwelling on graphic descriptions of the abuse by the masters, but revealing the horror of their entire situation, physical and psychologically. Gory details such as those were simply not necessary to invest in the characters. You will find yourself desperate at end, worrying for this women. These feelings are what I wanted to access while reading The Help, and didn't. The descriptions were sometimes a scanty for me, but my personal preference runs toward a lot of detail and the author's succint style is simply hers. It left me thinking what a powerful stage production this could be.
