Narration In Favor Of Books Of Bees and Mist

Of Bees and Mist is an engrossing fable that chronicles three generations of women under one family tree and places them in a mythical town where spirits and spells, witchcraft and demons, and prophets and clairvoyance are an everyday reality. Meridia grows up in a lonely home until she falls in love with Daniel at age sixteen. Soon, they marry, and Meridia can finally escape to live with her charming husband’s family—unaware that they harbor dark mysteries of their own. As Meridia struggles to embrace her life as a young bride, she discovers long-kept secrets about her own past as well as shocking truths about her new family that push her love, courage, and sanity to the brink. Erick Setiawan’s astonishing debut is a richly atmospheric and tumultuous ride of hope and heartbreak that is altogether touching, truthful, and memorable.

Judge Appertaining To Books Of Bees and Mist

loved this book, this book was a National Blue Ribbon Award winner by BOMC several years ago... I have read many books on that list and have loved them all!

i wish i liked this more, i truly do. it's in the running for best cover of the year, which is of course why i bought it (in hardcover, before reading any reviews of it, and barely reading the flap-copy) but it seemed like my brand of tea - crumbling houses, family secrets, a touch of magic realism. only it was more than a touch. this is basically a fairy tale. which hit me unexpectedly as i was reading. but it's fine, i acclimate to the tone and continue reading... it's just that it's not very

DNF at 25% I wanted to love the story as much as the cover....

In light of my human bestie just having read this and loved it, and also in celebration of this same human bestie's forthcoming trip to ME (8 days!), I am bumping this review because I loved this book so hard and am feeling the need to 're-read it soon.________This is a very hard book to review, since I don't think I've ever read anything else like it, and I'm not likely to in my lifetime. I don't really know how to describe this book. Others have called it magical realism, a fairy-tale, a

So this is what I've learned about women in reading this book: they're spiteful, abusive, cold and with-holding from their husbands, are the cause of adultery, must be ice queens, servants, or whores, can't have a baby ever...seriously, every birth scene in this book resulted in death, blood, or curses, and every woman was an extreme; absolutely rage-filled or flat and meek and submissive. Women, in this book, are worried about by others if, after their baby dies, they are no longer interested

Hmm. Well, I quite liked the beginning of this book and I felt like it had a lot of potential but I was a little disappointed that it developed into a story about a grudge between a woman and her evil mother-in-law. Really? Can't we get past that trope? Because, you know, women do nothing but fight with each other. And over what? A man, of course, namely Daniel, the son/husband. Because women don't do anything that doesn't have to do with men. Because women are irrational, see. HYSTerical. Ho ho
