Very moving and very well written, I loved the movement between the past and present in the novel. Lefteri did a phenomenal job connecting them. I really feel like the connections with the bees and nuri too felt heavy, I could feel the sadness in both his heart and Afras.

Heel beeldend, mooie sprongen in de chronologie van het verhaal gemaakt zonder dat het cheesy voelt. Karakters zijn goed uitgewerkt, en totaal anders dan de karakters waar ik normaal over lees. Heel rauw en heftig, ook empathie-kwekend.
