I just finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and I highly recommend it. It takes place in the late 50s/early 60s in Mississippi, and is told from the perspectives of 3 women - 2 black maids, and one young white woman. It follows them and their reactions and interactions as related to the Civil Rights Movement and just to life in general.

What made it so phenomenal was Stockett's writing style. You don't even feel like you are reading a book...more like you are just there with the characters. Her dialogue is also spectacular, and overall this book is a great learning read for writers because of it.
