stenaros 's review for:
Hour of the Bees
by Lindsay Eagar
Read for librarian book group.
After a while the story that grandfather was telling seemed like a ham-fisted, respect-the-planet kind of environmental tale. This didn't trouble me overly. It's a first novel and it's a long one and something has to get a little out of control. I thought the capture of emotions was very well done and it was kind of fun to see a bratty older teenager through the eyes of her younger sister. I feel like there isn't enough of that in the fiction I come across. Probably because I mostly read books from the bratty older sister's perspective.
