Hour of the Bees

$9.90
Hour of the Bees
Hour of the Bees

Magical realism entwines with familial bonds.

"Hour of the Bees" isn't just a book; it's an experience that entangles you with the threads of heritage and the complexities of family love. It's particularly touching for anyone who has watched a loved one struggle with the fog of mental illness. Lindsay Eagar has a way of making the desert bloom with her words, offering a story that stays with you like the hum of bee wings long after the last page.
