No, not that book. Written in the 21st century.

Is the novel set in the South, by any chance?

Not that one. It was a mammoth bestseller.

No, those books are set primarily in Washington State.

"No, those books are set primarily in Washington State."
I've never read them or seen the movies. It was the only recent bestseller I could think of off the top of my head...

Oh, Aussie, you were posting just as I was responding to the prior guess. It is Kathryn Stockett's "The Help." Good film, too, but not as good as the novel.

I've neither read nor seen it but certainly heard enough about it to connect it to all of the clues.
Let's go with a sci-fi/alternate history novel.

Is it an alternative war history?

That's a fair appraisal but it's mostly about the aftermath of the war.

Does it involve any kind of time-travel?

As a prelim guess, based on post-war alternative:
"Bring the Jubilee" by Ward Moore?
