Lily has grown up believing she accidentally killed her mother when she was four. She not only has her own memory of holding the gun, but her father's account of the event. Now fourteen, living on a peach farm in South Carolina with her father, she has only one friend: Rosaleen, a black servant. But South Carolina in the sixties is a place where segregation is still considered a cause worth fighting for...
I really like the way Sue Monk Kidd tells this story! It's a marvellous book. I took it really strange, that everything seemed so old in the book. And then suddenly, they watsched TV or called somebody on the phone. Well, this might be the south of the US, a really strange place for me. Maybe the book was a bit too much South States-feeling for me, but I liked the way Lily's transformation could be overseen.
I remembered that I was a little underwhelmed by this book when I first read it (even though the journal entry does not sound like that). Now, the second time round, I really liked the book.
