Kathryn Stockett

Kathryn Stockett — 2 titles in the rankings, first published between 2009 and 2026. They average 8.2, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.

Editor’s note The Help, set in Jackson, Mississippi, in the early 1960s, follows Black maids who work in white homes and a young white woman who sets out to record their stories. Hugely popular and filmed in 2011, it rates very highly here, though it has also been criticised for a white author voicing Black characters and for its use of dialect. The Calamity Club, her second novel, followed in 2026.
