The Secret Life of Bees. A poignant book about family secrets, feminine strength, love, and the ability to forgive

July 2, 1964. A Civil Rights Act prohibiting racial discrimination is passed in the USA. Lily Owens from South Carolina turns 14, and her whole life revolves around hazy memories of the day her mother was killed. She lives with... her Black nanny Rosaline and a cruel father who makes her stand on corn for hours for every minor infraction. When Rosaline insults the three most hardened racists in town, Lily decides to free them both: she runs away from her tyrannical father, and Rosaline from injustice. They head to Tiburon — a town that holds the secret of her mother's past. Captured by an eccentric trio of sister beekeepers, Lily is introduced to the mesmerizing world of bees and honey, as well as the divine Madonna. A multi-million bestselling novel about a young girl's journey to healing and the transformative power of love, a story that women will share and pass on to their daughters for many years.
