The very first chapter had me hooked. The beautiful prose and heartbreaking turn of events had me immediately gripped. The relationship between the couple is one that I am so intrigued to read about and the bees also seem like a fascinating and symbolic aspect. I love the cultural aspect of it making it so rich and adding a layer of depth to the novel which I love. I am ready for my heart to be broken.
The cover is beautiful and very fitting for the novel. It has cracks running all over it which suggest fragility and being broken, which is a running theme in the excerpt of the book. I loved that the bee is front and centre as it is an integral part of the book. The buildings in the background as well as the jewel tones are also a nod to the cultural aspects of the book.
