The Wedding Bees: A Novel of Honey, Love & Manners
By: Sarah-Kate Lynch
Ages: 14 and up
Cherie-Lynn (Sugar) Wallace is a woman who travels
with her prized honeybees to wherever they decide. When they decide to live in New York, she
plans to live her life with her bees and making new friends with her neighbors:
cranky Mrs. Keschl and Old McNally; Ruby Portman, a young anorexic woman; Lola,
the balloon store owner and her baby son, Ethan; Nate, an aspiring chef; and
George, the new doorman. The last thing
she expects is to fall in love with Theo Fitzgerald, a sweet Scotsman who one
day crosses her path and falls in love with her at first sight. When she does fall in love with him, a memory
from her past keeps her from making that leap and it will be up to her new neighbors
and her bees to teach her to forgive herself and not to be afraid of falling in
love again. Lynch creates a character of
strong independence and politeness and she will learn how to find sweetness
other than from her honeybees as well as learning what it means to call a place
home. Lynch also crafts quirky characters
with different backgrounds as well as troubles of their own and how Sugar
changes their lives with her caring heart and her honey. Also, her prized honeybee queen, Queen
Elizabeth the Sixth, will also help Sugar realize what she really needs is
right in front of her and to trust her own instincts and not from Queen
Elizabeth. Sarah-Kate Lynch, an
international bestselling author, creates a charming, sweet, and entertaining novel
for anyone who loves a good book for pure pleasure as well as for those who
love reading about finding forgiveness within oneself and finding love when you
least expect it. (Woman’s Fiction)

Sounds like there is much character development going on in this one. Also seems like this is definitely a "feel good" story! May have to check it out. :)

ReplyDeleteNicely done. Normally, I do not read anything romantic, which is what this books seems to be. But, I have to admit I was intrigued by the use of bees. I actually might try to read this book based on your review. I love when a book as good characters.
