The listing, THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES~by SUE MONK KIDD~NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!!!! has ended.

Along with Morrison and Walker, this is one of the best modern day depictions of the relationships that we long for, we lose and we misunderstand. It's the women in this novel--they are outstanding characters. One of my favorite quotes is from the narrator: Lily, the 14 year old girl who feels she is "unlovable" until she meets the 3 women in the pink house and rediscovers a bond that she knew was always there but never understood with her deceased mother--Lily, as the narrator, says: "Knowing can be a curse on a person's life. I'd traded in a pack of lies for a pack of truth, and I didn't know which one was heavier. Which one took the most strength to carry around?...once you know the truth, you can't ever go back and pick up your suitcase of lies. Heavier or not, the truth is your now." And to that question that Lily asks as to whether it is better to know or not know the truth August replies: "There is nothing perfect...There is only life." The movie is a fantastic depiction of a book with beautiful images and heart-breaking relationships and a search for something that is unnamed in all of us. ----------------GENTLY READ PAPERBACK EDITION FROM SMOKE FREE HOME
