Sue Monk Kidd, author of the highly acclaimed memoirs The Dance of the Dissident Daughter and When the Heart Waits, has won a Poets & Writers award, a Katherine Anne Porter Award, and a Bread Loaf scholarship. Two of her short stories--including an excerpt from The Secret Life of Bees--were selected as notable stories in Best American Short Stories. The Secret Life of Bees was nominated for the prestigious Orange Prize for fiction in England.
Sue Monk Kidd's ravishing debut novel has stolen the hearts of reviewers and readers alike with its strong, assured voice. 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--a story that women will share and pass on to their daughters for years to come.

評分“人生世界实际上就是一个大养蜂场,无论在人生世界还是在养蜂场,相同的规则同样行之有效:不要害怕,热爱生活的蜜蜂并不想蛰你,但是,也别犯傻,长袖和长裤一定要穿。不要打蜜蜂,甚至连这个念头都不要有,如果你感到气恼的话,就吹口哨,生气会激怒蜜蜂,而吹口哨会缓解蜜...
評分有关一个白人女孩和几个黑人一起生活的温情故事。毫无疑问,书是以1960年代种族歧视,民权运动为背景的。拿到书的时候,正值奥巴马当选期间,感叹米国社会变化快啊。书中,小女孩厌恶自己的爸爸,和黑人保姆一起去寻找自己失踪很久的母亲,到了异乡,寄居在一个黑人家庭里,与...
