Sue Monk Kidd's ravishing debut novel has stolen the hearts of reviewers and readers alike with its strong, assured voice. Set in South Carolina in 1964, The Secret Life of Bees tells the story of Lily Owens, whose life has been shaped around the blurred memory of the afternoon her mother was killed. When Lily's fierce-hearted "stand-in mother," Rosaleen, insults three of the town's fiercest racists, Lily decides they should both escape to Tiburon, South Carolina--a town that holds the secret to her mother's past. There they are taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters who introduce Lily to a mesmerizing world of bees, honey, and the Black Madonna who presides over their household. This is a remarkable story about divine female power and the transforming power of love--a story that women will share and pass on to their daughters for years to come.

Summary: The Secret Life Of Bees
Comment: It's a good book, interesting story, well written. It's a fast read. We read it for our book club. Most of us liked it. A couple people were dissappointed and felt it could have been better. It's not on my favorite's list, but it was worth the time.

Summary: Great for book-club
Comment: My book-club liked it more than I did, although I was the one who picked it out. It was a good book, I just don't think it will be that memorable to me in the long run.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Comment: Ms Kidd knows how to make a story live and develop characters outstandingly. This story of 14 year old Lily on a North Carolina peach farm and her adventures to get away from her abusive dad will tug at your heart strings. Thank you for this lovely book and believe it or not this great movie. But read the book first.
