If Margaret Atwood says itβs good then it damn sure is! This book came so highly recommended by several, that I fast-tracked it to the top of my to-read list immediately β and I was not disappointed! No, this is not a fluffy story about a bunch of bees that fly around aimlessly collecting nectar. This is a deep and dark thriller; one that fictionally explores the goings on of a cut-throat beehive, through the lens of an exceptional bee, Flora 717. This is a story of rejection, perseverance, trial, and triumph; feelings that we can all relate to in a world so similar yet so surreal. Put yourselves in Floraβs shoes, and I guarantee that youβll be mesmerised from page 1. Laline, your imagination astounds me. Please write another!
