Bee Season by Myla Goldberg

4.0

A well-written, surprising novel. Though I am not usually a fan of flashbacks, I felt the movement through time worked in this case, as it really helped build the characters. This novel deals with the delicate issues of bad parenting and religion with care. Though the children, Eliza and Aaron, came across to me as real, believable characters, the parents struck me as caricatures. Miriam's mania was overblown, Saul's obliviousness to his wife's issues was impossible to accept.
