Honeycomb
by Joanne M. Harris
I was shocked by how much I enjoyed this book!
Honeycomb is a kind of book that is difficult to describe. It’s a set of dark fairytales. It’s an interconnected group of tales. It’s a fantasy. It’s horror. It’s science fiction. It’s about family and growth and love and guilt. It’s about seeking perfection at the cost of humanity. It’s about different worlds that look different but share a heart. It’s about one family but also about many. It’s about war and peace and consequences of each. And as my 7 year old who keeps peeking at the stunning pictures has said repeatedly - it’s also about a lot of insects.
I’ve never read anything like this and I’m a little sad because I don’t know if I ever really will again. I wasn’t sure how I felt a few chapters in but by the end I wasn’t ready to leave this spectacular world.
