foxclaw6 's review for:

The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia

4.0

This was a tough one for me, in the beginning I thought I would give it a 3 bc it was really hard to get into. Then I appreciated how beautifully some very poignant parts were worded and I thought I’d give it a 5. Then I was just frustrated with some really lengthy descriptions and just wanted to to get to the end because the storyline really was great, so it got 4 stars. Ultimately I’m so glad I read it. Gorgeous way of tapping into life and loss, culture and tradition, legacy and pride and all the connective tissue that goes with those things. Maybe if my headspace was in a different place, I’d better appreciate taking the time to soak up her words.
