‘READ
THIS!’ BOOK CLUB
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,’ Roseleen 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 sisters, 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.

core of this story is Lily’s search for a mother, and she finds one in a place
she never expected.’—The New York Times Book Review

is an authentic and winning character and her story is compellingly told.’—USA
