The multi-million bestselling novel about a young girl's
journey towards healing and the transforming power of love, from
the award-winning author of The Invention of Wings. 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 black stand-in mother, Rosaleen, insults three of
the deepest racists in town, Lily decides to spring them both
free. They escape to Tiburon, South Carolina--a town that holds
the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by an eccentric trio
of black beekeeping sister, Lily is introduced to their
mesmerizing world of bees and honey, and the Black Madonna. This
is a remarkable novel about divine female power, a story that
women will share and pass on to their daughters for years to
come.
Characters: 54. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
