The History of Bees by Maja Lunde

1.0

I could barely get through this (I forced myself since it's for the book club I run at work). I just found it dull. I couldn't connect with any characters and the writing felt flat and unemotional. I've felt similarly about other translations; I'm not sure if this is a product of translation itself (the translation is lacking something the original has), or if European fiction has more of a tendency to be written that way in the first place.
