The Bee Sting: A Novel
by Paul Murray
Mystical (3/18/2024)
Wonderful writer. True pleasure to read. I liked Paul’s decisions to choose Imelda to be under educated in terms of class distinction. I can hear her frustration and capacity to knowing that she needs to get what she wants because she knows no one else will give it to her. She is rather fabulous. I felt the mysticism of the work so much that I questioned the true existence of Willie or would he turn out to be a splintered faction of Dickie caused by the reaction to his abuse in terms of disassociation. Every character was developed skillfully. I will read again. Thank you.
