The Time Will Come #16

Every Thursday, Jodie at Books For Company hosts The Time Will Come, a weekly meme in which we list a book that we really want to read or keep meaning to get to. These are mostly books that have been on the TBR shelf for awhile now but also they can be books that have just come into my home.  I have a massive to-read pile, it seems to be growing by the day.....

If you'd like to join in?

• Pick a book you have been meaning to read
• Do a post telling us about the book

Here is my choice for this weeks Time Will Come:

 

 The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

Goodreads Synopsis:

 

Sue Monk Kidd's ravishing debut novel has stolen the hearts of reviewers and readers alike with its strong, assured voice. Set in South Carolina in 1964, The Secret Life of Bees tells the story of Lily Owens, whose life has been shaped around the blurred memory of the afternoon her mother was killed. When Lily's fierce-hearted "stand-in mother," Rosaleen, insults three of the town's fiercest racists, Lily decides they should both escape to Tiburon, South Carolina--a town that holds the secret to her mother's past. There they are taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters who introduce Lily to a mesmerizing world of bees, honey, and the Black Madonna who presides over their household. This is a remarkable story about divine female power and the transforming power of love--a story that women will share and pass on to their daughters for years to come.

 I saw the movie a couple of years ago and the story really stuck in my head, so I thought it would be lovely to read the book.  This one certainly tugs at the heartstrings and is an emotion filled book.  Now I've left it a long time since watching the film it's not that fresh in my mind, so now would be the perfect time to read it. 

What books do you have on your bookcase that you just can't wait to read?
