The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia
4.0

I liked this book. It is lyrical and beautiful and heartbreaking and confusing.

A boy with a cleft palate is found under a bridge. He is raised as a member of the wealthy family of small town. He has magic and bees and he does some wondrous things. And though this often seems like his story, it isn't. In the end, everything comes out.

Several parts of this story made me cry. But, I still have one of those warm, contented feelings with a bit of bittersweet notes after finishing this story.
