The Bees: A Novel by Laline Paull
The Bees is described as "The Handmaid's Tale meets The Hunger Games." It takes place inside a beehive, and follows the colony through dangers from outside enemies and elements, and from inside changes. This fulfills the 'book from a nonhuman perspective' category of the 2017 reading challenge.
I'm finding it much more enjoyable than expected! I might even say it's a triumph of anthropomorphism. :)
I borrowed the ebook from my library, so the demise of my Kindle put a crimp in my reading pleasure, but I'm thankful that I can use my Kindle Fire as a backup. I should finish it tonight or tomorrow.
Hmmmm... Or should that be bzzzzzz... Sounds interesting...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not one I would have picked if not for the challenge prompts. Really liked it though.
