　　14-year-old Lily Owen, neglected by her father and isolated on their Georgia peach farm, spends hours imagining a blissful infancy when she was loved and nurtured by her mother, Deborah, whom she barely remembers. These consoling fantasies are her heart"s answer to the family story that as a child, in unclear circumstances, Lily accidentally shot and killed her mother. All Lily has left of Deborah is a strange image of a Black Madonna, with the words "Tiburon, South Carolina" scrawled on the back. The search for a mother, and the need to mother oneself, are crucial elements in this well-written coming-of-age story set in the early 1960s against a background of racial violence and unrest. When Lily"s beloved nanny, Rosaleen, manages to insult a group of angry white men on her way to register to vote and has to skip town, Lily takes the opportunity to go with her, fleeing to the only place she can think of - Tiburon, South Carolina - determined to find out more about her dead mother. Although the plot threads are too neatly trimmed, The Secret Life of Bees is a carefully crafted novel with an inspired depiction of character.
　　14岁的莉莉・欧文，被父亲放任不管，孤独地生活在自家位于乔治亚州的桃园，会花上数小时时间来编织幸福的幼年时光：幼时的她受到了记忆模糊的母亲黛博拉的宠爱与照料。这些安慰式的幻想是莉莉内心当中对其幼年时期在不明情况下将自己母亲射杀的家事的回应。黛博拉给莉莉所留下的只是一个背后潦草写有“提伯伦，南卡罗来纳”字样的奇怪的“黑色玛利亚”画像（注：玛利亚为基督教中的圣母）。在这部将时间设定在20世纪60年代早期、以种族暴力和骚乱为背景、关于成长的精彩故事中，对于母亲的追寻以及像母亲般关爱自己的需求成为了主导元素。当莉莉所深爱的保姆罗瑟琳在前往注册投票途中不慎侮辱了一群愤怒的白人男子而不得不逃离出城之时，莉莉便趁机与其一起出走，逃到了她唯一所能想起的地方（提伯伦，南卡罗来纳），决心找出与其亡母相关的更多事情。虽然故事脉络处理得过于规整，但《蜜蜂的秘密生活》是一部在人物刻画方面富有灵感的小说精品。
