THE BEE STING: Paul Murray

THE BEE STING

by Paul Murray

Big, Irish, darkly funny, shattering, life-affirming: Whatever it was I was expecting from this word-of-mouth bestseller, I ended up with more than I bargained for.  Reading this book was like riding a runaway train. As it picked up speed, barrelling towards disasters forseen and unforseen, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see if the Bairns would hit the brakes or fly completely off the rails. A big, masterfully plotted brick of a read, perfect for summer.
