Monk Kidd, Sue - The Secret Life of Bees

I don't often use the word sweet, it gives me the irates (as does that word) but how else to explain this book. Both funny, sad, sweet (there!) and amazingly interwoven with these facts (at the start of each chapter) about Bees. Such a beautifully written story. I've had my eyes on this for some time at Dymocks as a nickname of mine is Bee. That was the initial fodder for curiousity and a raving review from 90% of the rest of the staff. Borrowed off Katie, thank you again. It made for a fulfilling train trip or two.
