I've just finished reading this book, by Sue Monk Kidd, and I was absolutely enchanted. Told through the eyes of a teenage girl, she addresses issues of prejudice and racism, of bereavement, and of love with such sensitivity and with such honesty. It was an easy read, a quick read, but has stuck with me because, I think, it was so full of truth.
"The first week at August's was a consolation, a pure relief. The world will give you that once in a while, a brief time-out; the boxing bell rings and you go to your corner, where somebody dabs mercy on your beat-up life." - The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
