Lily has grown up believing she accidentally killed her mother when she was four years old. Now, at fourteen, she yearns for forgiveness and a mother's love. Living on a peach farm in South Carolina with her harsh and unforgiving father, she has only one friend, Rosaleen, a black servant.
When racial tension explodes one summer afternoon, and Rosaleen is arrested and beaten, Lily chooses to flee with her. Fugitives from justice, the pair follow a trail left by the woman who died ten years before. Finding sanctuary in the home of three beekeeping sisters, Lily starts a journey as much about her understanding of the world as about the mystery surrounding her mother.
'A wonderful book, by turns sad, full of incident and shot through with grown-up magic reminiscent of Joanne Harris' Daily Telegraph
'Charming, funny, moving' The Times
'Wonderfully written, powerful, poignant . . . read it' Joanna Trollope
What readers are saying about The Secret Life of Bees:
'One of the most poignant and heart tugging books I have ever read'
'Emotional and heart-breaking, yet full of hope and love. I laughed and cried equally through the book. This wonderful book will stay with me for a long time to come'
'One of the best books I've read in a while. Touching, well-written, beautiful, full of expression, insightful'
'A beautifully written masterpiece. I loved the writing, the descriptions, the humour sprinkled through the story. There was sadness and love, hope and forgiveness. I highly recommend this book'
Die 14-jährige Lily wächst in den turbulenten 1960ern im Süden der Vereinigten Staaten auf. Ihre bittere, dennoch humorvolle Geschichte des Erwachsenwerdens ist gleichzeitig eine über Mutter-Tochter-Beziehungen.
