The History of Bees
by Maja Lunde
I have had Maja Lunde's The History of Bees on my Kindle for quite some time, and was prompted to read it by Lauren from Lauren and the Books' on YouTube, as she mentioned in a video that she was really enjoying it. I love novels told from different perspectives, particularly those which take different time periods as their focus. I was not entirely sure how I felt about reading a story set partly in the future, as it's something which I ordinarily tend to avoid, but Lunde's take on the China of the 2090s was clever and not at all overdone.
I loved the use of a central focus - the bee - to tell three quite different, but interrelated stories. The novel is a wholly absorbing one, and I found quite soon that I could hardly put it down. The History of Bees has been thoroughly researched and cleverly plotted, and I would definitely like to read more of Lunde's work in future.
