Reviews
"A moving first novel...Lily is an authentic and winning character and her story is compellingly told. The bees presage her journey toward self-acceptance, faith and freedom that is at the heart of this novel." - USA Today "Inspiring. Sue Monk Kidd is a direct literary descendant of Carson McCullers." - The Baltimore Sun "Fully imagined...the core of this story is Lily''s search for a mother, and she finds one in a place she never expected." - The New York Times Book Review "This is the story of a young girl''s journey toward healing, and of the intrinsic sacredness of living in the world. Simply wonderful." - Anne Rivers Siddons ""The stunning metaphors and realistic characters are so poignant they will bring tears to your eyes." - Library Journal "Kidd has written a triumphant coming-of-age novel that speaks to the universal need for love" - New Orleans Times-Picayune "The chapters...dance on the edges of ''Magical Realism,'' that blend of the fabulous and the ordinary that can invest a tale with a sense of wonderment, as is the case here." - Richmond Times-Dispatch "I am amazed that this moving, original, and accomplished book is a first novel.
