The Secret Life of Bees

Sue Monk Kidd is a fine storyteller. The book is easy to read and the writing is lyrical; her descriptions and metaphors are wonderful. I liked the characters who are well drawn. The story is also inspiring as 14-year-old Lily searches for a mother and learns where to find her from a caring woman named August. Our book group learned something about beekeeping and found plenty to discuss from our reading.
A good read. I am sending it to Sally in Florida.
