kerry reviewed The Bees by Laline Paull
Review of 'The Bees' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
As a generalization, I don't care for fiction that anthropomorphizes characters. But I found myself rooting for little Flora. Born to a low caste, she has high aspirations.
Maybe she's heard the Jesus and Mary Chain song, Just Like Honey:
Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
