A fascinating look at the secret life of bees, from buzzing around the garden to the sticky knife in the honey jar.

The opening was full of promise and the scene cleverly set with the use of the metaphor…..the clash of Ezra’s dilapidated bicycle ( tradition and slower pace of rural life) and Toby’s expensive 4x4 ( fast pace or modern city life).
However my enthusiasm was short lived as the direction of the story was so obvious with the arrival of the estate agent…..and then oh no !! not another novel where a long lost letter becomes a pivotal moment….and yet more disappointing yet again mistaken identity of twins.
However it is well written stirring the emotions with humour, sadness and a variety of characters. Well worth a read but nothing to make it stand out from the crowd.
