I read this book a couple years ago - it was one of my first forays into actual literature. I thought the characters were memorable (really touched by May's wailing wall), and the story actually got me interested in beekeeping! :) Given what we talked about with "The Help," it's a different take on race relationship in the same time period. Now that I think about it, race isn't really the central issue at all - it's more a novel on domestic violence. I haven't watched the whole movie, but I've seen a bunch of clips from TV airings. I think the casting was well done - I wasn't distracted by the fame of the actors and they seemed to fit their roles nicely.
