Summary: The Perfect Gift for my sister in laws
Comment: I was so enamored by the description of this book in both English and Spanish when I was looking for sewing, knitting, and crochet books for my women relatives in Mexico who are often alone long periods while their husbands work contracts in the US doing various things such as planting pines and electrical work. When I visited I realized they could do many crafts but had limits on their knowledge as to what to make and do such that they often bought kits. So I decided to look at Amazon who has always pleased me with their selection of books in English and Spanish for books to help them learn when Amazon suggested this book when I was looking around. My sister in laws are so excited to get a good reading book in Spanish that is a novella. The life is nice there a bit hot, a bit underdeveloped as when they first moved to this town there were only 3 houses and 300 houses now does not support much entertainment such that they have to look for entertainment such as DVD's, and music CD's we were sending to them for awhile. I never thought before to send them Novels and I am so pleased that Amazon suggested this excellent book to me. I want to thank everyone who did such excellent reviews on this book both in Spanish and English along with whomever decided to translate it to Spanish that I chose to purchase this along with sewing books. It came in excellent new condition for an excellent price and I read enough to know it is an excellent book for a gift idea in Spanish and English. Thanks to Amazon and all it's sellers along with people who took time to do excellent reviews because we were very very pleased with this book.

Summary: Buenisimo!!! Me encanto!!
Comment: Este libro ha sido muy refrescante de leer. A mi me encanto muchisimo. La primera vez que lei un libro de esta autora me fascino su forma de escribir. Sus palabras son muy poeticas y en verdad hay mucho romance en sus descripciones y su forma de contar los acontesimientos. La vida secreta de las avejas es muy interesante. Al terminar te deja con un sabor triste pero tambien aprendes muchisimo sobre las avejas en si y puedes explorar sobre los sentimientos entre madre a hija. Recomiendo leer todos los libros de esta autora. Sin duda se ha convertido en una de mis favoritas.

Summary: THE POWER OF THE SISTERHOOD OF WOMEN...
Comment: This is the Spanish text edition of the New York Times best selling novel, "The Secret Life of Bees". It is a beautifully written, coming of age story, set in rural South Carolina in 1964 against the back drop of the civil rights movement. It is the touching story of a young white girl, fourteen year old Lily Owens, whose mother died in a tragic accident when Lily was about four. Lily lives with her father, a harsh man with whom no love is lost, on a peach farm outside Sylvan, South Carolina. Her mother's death stands between them.

Neglected by her father, Lily is brought up by Rosaleen, a big-hearted black woman, who loves Lily and whom Lily loves. Yet, hers is a lonely existence, compounded by her unquenched thirst for information about her mother, Deborah. All she has left of her mother are some cloudy memories and a box containing a few mementos, among them a picture of a Black Madonna, inscribed with the words, "Tiburon, S.C."

When Rosaleen goes into town to register to vote, she feels empowered by the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and has a run-in with the town's three biggest racists, resulting in Rosaleen being taken into custody. Lily arranges for her to break free. Together, they seek sanctuary in Tiburon, South Carolina, where Lily discovers the mystery of the Black Madonna.

Taken in by a trio of middle-aged black women who are sisters, as well as beekeepers, Lily is introduced to the secret life of bees and begins to learn some important life lessons. She also learns something about her mother and finds love where she least expected.

This is simply a beautifully realized novel, written in a true Southern voice by a wonderful writer with a story to tell. It is little wonder that this compelling book has received so many accolades. It is a stunning fiction debut by the author.
