THE HONEYS IS INCREDIBLE! It has so much to say about gender roles and tradition, about grief and emotional distance, about nature and its connectivity. It is also surreal and terrifying and fascinating. Love a book at leaves you with more questions than answers. I've never read anything quite like it before. CANNOT recommend highly enough.

BEES. Explicit descriptions of them around people, the sounds of their buzzing, them crawling on skin/into ears, and lots of bee stings.
