The Secret Life of Bees will be the subject of discussion of the Book Group at North Northfield United Methodist Church on Saturday, July 5 at 10 a.m.
In her debut novel, Sue Monk Kidd wraps a coming-of-age tale around a search for one’s mother, plunks it down into the racially-charged South Carolina during the civil rights movement and sets it all alight with a dose of feminine spirituality, according to a review at About.com.
The public is invited to attend the event, which will be held at the church, located at Sanders and Dundee in Northbrook. For more information, call the church office at (847) 272-2250 or visit the church website at www.northnorthfield.org.
Good luck with the discussion! I'm hoping to tackle the book before the movie comes out.
