    Lily Owens is growing up in South Carolina in the mid-1960s, raised by her cruel father but cared for by Rosaleen, her African-American nanny. When Rosaleen tries to vote and is beaten for her trouble, she and Lily head for the town of Tiburon, a place with ties to Lily`s dead mother, where they live with a local beekeeper, and where Lily learns valuable truths about her mother and herself. The story is supplemented by a great deal of information about bees, which is fascinating in itself.

This is a very quick and easy read. It is a good "chick book". It kept me interested from the first page and I could hardly put it down. It is set in the South and the 60's so there is racial issues as well as a young girl yearning for the truth about her deceased mother.

I received this as a gift from one of my students. I like to read, so I started it and I was more than pleasantly surprised. It was hard to put down once I started it!
