From the author of Skippy Dies comes Paul Murray's The Bee Sting, an irresistibly funny, wise, and thought-provoking tour de force about family, fortune, and the struggle to be a good person when the world is falling apart. The Barnes family is in trouble. Dickie's once-lucrative car business is going under--but rather than face the music, he's spending his days in the woods, building an apocalypse-proof bunker with a renegade handyman. His wife Imelda is selling off her jewelry on eBay, while their teenage daughter Cass, formerly top of her class, seems determined to binge-drink her way through her final exams. And twelve-year-old PJ is putting the final touches to his grand plan to run away from home. Where did it all go wrong? A patch of ice on the tarmac, a casual favor to a charming stranger, a bee caught beneath a bridal veil--can a single moment of bad luck change the direction of a life? And if the story has already been written--is there still time to find a happy ending?Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Paul MurrayPublisher: Farrar, Straus and GirouxPublished: 08/15/2023ISBN: 9780374600303Pages: 656Weight: 1.00lbsSize: 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00dReview Citations: Library Journal Prepub Alert 03/01/2023 pg. 4Kirkus Reviews 05/15/2023Booklist 05/15/2023 pg. 16Publishers Weekly 06/19/2023Library Journal 07/01/2023 pg. 64
