Reading The History of Bees provoked mixed and uneasy feelings for me. The three main characters who narrate the story are not always endearing or even likable. In fact a lot of the time I really felt quite annoyed with them, particularly William and George.

Despite their stubbornness or perhaps due to it, I found myself rooting for each of them to succeed. And despite the insight of Tao’s narrative, I felt hopeful for them all. The characters are more than just heroes or perfect people with selfless intentions.
