Genre: Realistic Fiction
This novel takes readers through a young love story, a murder mystery, and a search for truth and self; all tied together by a mother and her son who have to reconcile with their choices, and the secrets they keep. a novel that includes all the beautiful things that drag a reader in, and keep them there, entranced. You also learn a lot about beekeeping, honey, and how nature reflects humanity- or is it the other way around?
My advice: This book makes a great listen on audiobook.
