Kidd, Sue Monk. The Secret Life of Bees. New York: Penguin Books, 2005.
After reading Ellie's review on The Secret Life of Bees, I thought it would be a good novel to add to my reading collection. I agree with the point Ellie makes about how the author does a great job of creating a lot of small plots that all connect to one large plot. My favorite thing about this book would have to be the interaction between the characters. I loved August and Lily's relationship, and I always enjoyed reading about August's overemotional sister May. Although the book is an easy read the author depicts many heavy topics like physical and mental abuse, racism, and suicide. Overall, I think that if anyone is in the mood for a simple read and a terrific story, I would highly recommend The Secret Life of Bees.
