A review by ljbar
The Honey Queen by Cathy Kelly
4.0
After I rated this book 4 stars I had a quick look at the other Cathy Kelly novels in my 'read' list - I'd rated all of them 4 stars. There is something about Cathy Kelly's writing that draws me in. As other reviews have stated, there are quite a few characters to get your head around, but I found each of their stories moving in their own way.
There was a lovely sense of community - both large and small - in the novel and I found myself invested in each of the storylines. There was also a real sense of finding the positive in something negative. Freya's backstory was heartbreaking, as was Peggy's, yet these two young women had an admirable inner strength. And I couldn't help but think how great it would be to have a friend like Bobbi in your corner!
I found myself choking up through the last couple of chapters. This was a heart-warming read and one I would recommend.
