Additional Secret Life of Bees Information

Fourteen-year-old Lily Owens lost her beloved mother when she was only four—under tragic circumstances clouded by time and secrecy. She later found a fiercely protective "stand-in," her abusive father's outspoken housekeeper, Rosaleen. Ignoring differences in age and color—and the fact that racial hatred seethed during the summer of 1964 in rural South Carolina—these two unlikely companions set off on a seemingly aimless pilgrimage that ends at the home of a trio of eccentric bee-keeping black sisters. Lily tells her remarkable tale of longing and love in an idiom and accent heard far south of the Mason-Dixon Line, but the lessons learned during her odyssey into the world of bees and their "secret life" are universal and everlasting. In her debut novel, Sue Monk Kidd proves herself adept both at storytelling and at creating characters who are simultaneously outlandish and credible—in other words, worthy to join the ranks of such first-rate Southern stylists as Kaye Gibbons, Anne Rivers Siddons, and Ellen Gilchrist.

I fell in love with August, Lilly, and Zach. I LOVED this book. I didn't want this book to end. I could not stop thinking about the characters and hated to put the book down. This was a quick read for me. Everyone should have an August Boatwright in their life. The movie was great, too.
Always wanted to read this book, and I'm glad I did. it was a good story.
The book came very quickly and in really good condition. I highly recommend this book.
This book creates full characters who leave you wanting to know more about them- their histories, their struggles, what happened next. It's a lovely book, charmingly bittersweet with an uplifting conclusion. A great read for fans of "Southern Chick Lit."
Since To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite book, I was overjoyed to find a book that reflects similar themes. Kudos to Sue Monk for writing such an engaging tale.
