I've started reading it and it's really intersting. So far, Lily (the main character) has set off on a journey with Rosaleen, her house maid. The big difference is that Lily is white...and Rosaleen is black. Shocked by her father telling her that Lily's mother ran away and abandoned her, she forces herself to believe that its a lie and runs away with Rosaleen. Who was just in jail for spilling snuff spit on three white men because they had made fun of her for who she was. They have now found refuge in August's house who makes honey for living. In the book, there was a part that stuck to my head. This is the song they sing when something happy happens. It goes like this:
Place a beehive on my grave
and let the honey soak it through.
When I'm dead and gone,
that's what I want from you.
The streets of heaven are gold and sunny,
but I'll stick with my plot and a pot of honey.
Place a beehive on my grave
and let the honey soak through.
