Once Lily is fed up with her father, T Ray’s, treatment of her, she decides to run away with her “stand-in” mother Rosaleen to a small town that Lily has only heard of through a picture she found among her mom’s personal effects. In this city, Tiburon, Lily encounters a group of beekeeping sisters that have connections to Lily’s mother. I believe that this setting symbolizes Lily’s perfect freedom. She is away from T. Ray and she’s living with Rosaleen and the Boatwright sisters, whom she admires greatly. I believe this setting is important because it gives Lily a glimpse into her mother’s past, be it something good or possibly revealing something she didn’t want to know. Whatever it is, we will find out what it is later on in the story but either way, this setting is bound to provide an important role in the story.
