The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia
3.0

I enjoyed this book. It was like a meandering walk amongst the orange groves with the bees buzzing about. The story took many side routes to get to the end but when you got there, it was a beautiful story.

I did find the translation a little off-putting. Some of the way they wrote the characters' dialogue "sounded" like southern twang when I knew in my head what they sounded like. Had the Mexican author written the story in English, I think it wouldn't have been as awkward.
