bechristianson 's review for:

The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia
5.0

Loved the premise of this story

I always enjoy reading books from different parts of the world. This story did not disappoint me. Beautifully translated from Spanish, the story takes place in Mexico in the early 1900s. The relationship of Simonopio and his adopted family is heartwarming. But his relationship with the bees is fascinating. I loved the idea that he was not only able to communicate with the bees, but also protected and loved by them.
