Book Review of The Secret Life of Bees

The Secret Life of Bees
reviewed on


I loved this book because of the touching way it explores the idea of motherhood and how to repair the void that poor or absent mothering leaves. Kidd's probing of the issue is light as a feather and profound as a thunder clap.

Meanwhile, it's good, engrossing storytelling.
