The Death of Bees

The Death of Bees is a first novel by Lisa O'Donnell. It won the Commonwealth Book Prize in 2013. I loved this book. It's about two teenagers who bury their parents in the garden. Yes, sounds odd but as you read the book you start to find out why and what has happened in their lives. There are some pretty heavy themes in this book but O'Donnell manages to get a lot of humour into the story. People who enjoy stories about relationships between people will enjoy this book.
