The Secret Life of Bees

This story flowed smoothly like honey. It was seamless and left you wanting for more at the end. The narrator did an exceptional job.

harming is the perfect word for this book. I also listened to the audio and miss Jenna Lamia was absolutely adorable to listen to. A story of heartbreak and wonder. Set in 1964 when segregation was in full swing. The story follows Lily Owen's and her nanny help maid Rosaleen. Lily is troubled my a mother who's death seems a mystery and a father who cant find it in his heart to love her. Her and Rosaleen find themselves in a world of trouble and take off for Tiburon,SC. With only a photo of the Black Mary her mother gave her. In search of the truth and who her mother was she finds an extraordinary charming cast of women called the Boatwrights who will brighten your soul Charming and funny witty and sad. I loved so much about this book yet there were parts that lagged and lacked the luster other parts gave it. An easy read that will warm your heart!

Oh my! I had a southern drawl when I was done reading! The best narrator

I read Sue Monk Kidd’s second book, The Invention of Wings, before reading The Secret Life of Bees — I loved both of them and can’t wait to read more by this author. I thought the narrator did an excellent job.

Loving this book and I think a lot has a lot to do with the narrator, just wonderful!!

Such a great, heartwarming story. Jenna Lamia once again outdid herself with the narration.

This narrator is amazing, really brought the story and characters to life.

Loved this book! Seems like I love anything Sue Monk Kidd writes! Enjoy!

I really did enjoy this book. If u liked “The Help” this is the same type of southern American feel but a different yet just as interesting story. I found it very hard to stop listening to and had it finished in 2 days. I enjoyed the narration of the book also finding it a pleasant voice with good expectation.

Loved the book and the narration was excellent. The whole thing flowed deliciously and was so clever in the way it revealed how we hide the truth from ourselves. The pace was excellent- let one grow into the story as Lily developed as a person. Reminded me of 'to kill a mockingbird ' in its setting and timing. Loved it!

I have ready this book at least a couple times previous, but had never listened to it on audio.......the narrator was excellent!

good book I enjoyed listening to it overall it's a great book but I do recommend using a faster speed considering the fact that the narrator reads the book fairly slow.

Narrator brought this book to life for me. The audio was amazing and the details in the story were spot on, I could see each setting as it was described. Women coming together and helping one another and lifting each other up is what I took away from this book. It reminded me of the strength we have that we sometime forget is there. I walked away feeling inspired as a woman. This was a beautifully written book by the author and I couldn't put the 'book' down!

The book is excellent and the author has an uncanny way of showing you instead of just telling you through her descriptive use of adjectives. What really makes it come to life is the excellent narration.
