The Bee Sting <i>by Paul Murray</i> – Hardback, Little Shop of Stories (via Bookshop.org)

This is a masterpiece. The variety of styles incorporated to capture the various narrator’s voices are pitch perfect. It’s a winding, intriguing tale jumping back and forth in time and between narrators. Heartily recommend.

This is a tale of a prosperous family in a downward spiral in a small town, told from the point of view of each family member, each chapter peeling the onion a little bit more.

If I’m completely honest I did not enjoy the last couple pages. But in this case the journey was worth the destination.
