Overview

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.

  • One of my all time favorites ❤

    Jordan Y. - 6 years 4 months ago

    This is one of my all time favorites. It is beautifully written from start to finish. This book completely immerses you in the world. The dialect and accents can take a bit to get into the groove of things if you arent used to that but stick through it it is worth it. The book deals with some hard topics and it does so through the eyes of a child which can be intense but also beautiful. I highly recommend this book.
