The Bee Sting by Paul Murray is about unfolding a family. The slow, tragic unwinding of the secrets held by each and every member. Each section introduces you to a unique voice and style of writing, allowing you to really get into the head of each character. No one in this book is a good person, yet no one is a villain either.
