Plot was problematic.
I liked this book a lot. I really wanted to love it but for me it ever so slightly wasn't quite as much of an amazing experience as I would have hoped. Maybe if I had read it before I read 'The Help' I would not have felt this way, but having been spoiled by the utter perfection of that book I just wasn't finding this one as magical or transcendent as I thought I would.

I loved this book. I really identified with the woman who always felt so bad when something bad happened to others and would go out to the stone wall to stash away those feelings. Okay, so in the end, she loses it, but still, I could see some of myself in her.
Read it early this year and thought it to be unique and a good story. A little girl finds herself among a group of African-American women beekeepers. Great, poignant story.
I loved this one. The story keeps moving while characters have enough depth that you believe that you know and love them.
This is one of my favorite "chic lit" books. I did not want to say goodbye to May, June, and August Boatwright.
