Of Bees and Mist by Erick Setiawan
3.0
I almost quit reading this after a couple of chapters, read a few reviews, decided to give it another chance and was glad I did. However, by the time I finished the book, I almost wished I hadn't. This book reminded me so much of Vinegar Hill, by A. Manette Ansay.
Meridia at age 16 has grown up lonely, ignored by both her parents. She meets and falls in love with Daniel and when he asks her to marry him, she thinks she has found a way out of her parents house. She eventually figures out her new mother-in-law is way worse than her parents ever were.
In this book filled with mystical realism, navigating the bees and the mists, it's a wonder that anyone could survive the situation in which these characters find themselves.
