Poor Lily Owens, living a life shaped around the scarred memory of the afternoon her mother was killed. Since, the death of her mother, lily lives with her abusive father T. Ray and her stand-in mother Rosaleen, just outside Sylvan, South Carolina.
At the age of fourteen, lily makes a life changing decision, and finally stands up for herself; her and Rosallen escape to Tiburon, South Carolina. She knows nothing about this town, yet I knows all about her; here she discovers her mother’s past as well as herself. In Tiburon, they take in three unconventional black beekeeping sisters, who introduce Lilly to a world that will inspire her- the world or bees, honey and the Black Madonna.
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd is an absolute joy to read. As each pages turn, the reader’s mind stays more and more involved in the novel. Kidd’s beautiful language, and profound story, keeps the reader’s attention at all times. This remarkable novel about real-to-life female power and the power of love, ensure this is not just a novel but an inspiration message for women of all ages. I would recommend this book to any women, and I bet you will fall in love with it!
