To escape her cruel, angry father – and discover the truth about her late mother´s past – 14-year old Lily Owens flees with her caregiver and friend Rosaleen to a South Carolina town where she´s taken in by the bee-keeping Boatwright sisters. Surrounded by the unexpected love, grace and spirituality she encounters there, Lily forms a bond with each of these uniquely gifted women and discovers that sometimes you must leave home in order to find it.

The Secret Life of Bees review by JD
Less about honey more about the sting

The central theme is the reduction in inequality of American Afro-carribeans and in particular female American Afro-carribeans. It is done with great style some humour and a fair plot but its title and cover give an impression of a rural idyll. For my taste I do not like serious political themes dressed in a rom com style. You may disagree.
