The Honey Queen by Cathy Kelly
4.0
A classic Cathy Kelly story... Similar to her other books, this is a story profiling a slice of life in small town Ireland.
Lillie has recently lost her husband Sam when her sons track down the brother she has never known back in Ireland. She is travelling there to meet Seth and his wife Frankie. She finds a couple struggling to navigate the next stage of their marriage.
Also new to Redmond is Peggy, a victim of abuse who is scared to settle down. She has longed for a knitting and craft shop and finally found a place to start one in Redmond. She bears the terrible scars of an abusive father and abused mother.
Peggy meets David and the story delves into his family, his siblings - mostly his sister Meredith, mother Opal and his teenage cousin who is living with his parents after the death of her father.
It’s a touching story about the trials of life, finding love and appreciating the family that you have. A sweet read with the thread of honey and beekeeping woven in
