The Secret Life of Bees

A fourteen-year-old girl whose life is completely changed by the sudden death of her mother one afternoon. A painting of the Black Madonna and a sudden voice, "Your bee jar lid is open," opens up the possibility for her to seek out a story buried for years. This girl, who has completely denied herself, will embark on a wonderful journey to a bee farm, where several eccentric beekeepers help her find fragments of her mother and reclaim her lost self.
Editor's Recommendation:
★ Ranked on The New York Times bestseller list for many years.
★ Included in English and American middle school curricula, it has comforted over six million souls.
★ Author Sue Monk Kidd and J.K. Rowling both won the Quill Award, and she was nominated for the 2006 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Nobel laureate Pamuk also received this award.
★ The original novel of the film "The Secret Life of Bees" starring Dakota Fanning.
★ Only an author with "love" in her heart can so generously spread "love" to the characters she creates, making them shine brightly in the darkness, making them emerge one after another in the river of humanity, with clear faces and smiling eyes, exuding a honey-like aura all over. —Huang Beijia
For me, the most touching and thought-provoking sentence is: A worker bee's body is only one centimeter long and weighs only about six milligrams; however, it can fly carrying a load greater than its own body weight. Just like when we are young, both our bodies and souls are still very tender, but we strive to fly forward—carrying our entire world on our backs. —Rao Xueman
"The Secret Life of Bees" proves that people can find family in the most unexpected places—perhaps not under your own roof, but in the magical temple where you find love. "The Secret Life of Bees" is a gift, a gift full of hope. —The New York Times Book Review
