Title: Not bad, not great
Review: If 3.5 had been an available rating, that would have been my choice for this book. While it had interesting characters (especially the "calendar" sisters)and I learned a lot about beekeeping,it also was based on a very far-fetched premise, one that I could not manage to get a handle on.The premise that a black woman, sprung from jail by a 13 year old white girl, would run away with that child and take refuge someplace with no questions asked.....yikes, just plain unrealistic!I thought this author also tried to deal with too many "issues" : racism, romance, child neglect, feminism, religion, mysticism, and so on. It was just too much for one book and in places the book really dragged for me.These negatives were a shame because I think that the author has a beautiful grasp of language and the character development was very good. Like another reviewer, I would have liked to know more about the sisters and their pasts.
