Thriller Psychological | Contemporary
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.
