Sue Monk Kidd -- The Secret Life of Bees -- Museum of Art
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Sue Monk Kidd's first novel, The Secret Life of Bees (Penguin, $20) , Penguin presents a beautiful special edition of this major literary triumph.
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 "stand-in mother," Rosaleen, insults three of the town's fiercest racists, Lily decides they should both escape to Tiburon, South Carolina--a town that holds the secret to her mother's past. There they are taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters who introduce Lily to a mesmerizing world of bees, honey, and the Black Madonna who presides over their household. This is a remarkable story about divine female power and the transforming power of love.
