by Sue Monk Kidd

La Vida Secreta de Las Abejas Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Ambientada en Carolina del Sur en 1964, La vida secreta de las abejas es la historia de Lily Owens, cuya vida ha sido formada alrededor del recuerdo confuso de la tarde en que su madre fue asesinada. Cuando Rosaleen, la bravía madre postiza negra de Lily, insulta a tres de las personas más racistas del pueblo, Lily decide que ambas deben ser libres. Ellas escapan a Tiburón, Carolina del Sur, un pueblo que guarda el secreto del pasado de su madre. Alojadas por un excéntrico trío de hermanas negras apicultoras, Lily es introducida al fascinante mundo de las abejas y la miel, y a la Virgen Negra. Esta es una novela notable sobre el poder divino femenino, una historia que las mujeres compartirán y pasarán a sus hijas por generaciones.

Synopsis:

The Secret Life of Bees has spent 78 weeks on the The New York Times bestseller list and slod 3 million copies in paperback-and it is still going strong.

Timed to coincide with the hardcover publication of Sue Monk Kidd's new novel, The Mermaid Chair, this Spanish-language edition will introduce the Spanish-speaking world to Kidd's universal story of Lily Owens, the eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters that take her in, and the wondrous truth of divine female power.
