Why read it?
1 author picked The Bee Sting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m actually in the middle of this wonderful and funny novel by Paul Murray, but even early on, I love that he finds humor and heart in the bad decisions and missteps of all the characters in this saga of a very dysfunctional family.
Can all of a family's problems be traced back to one particular moment and one angry bee? Not really, but Murray's characters can't help grappling with that and other silly questions.
From Paul's list on funny novels that won’t embarrass you.
