The Death of Bees is really about the strength of sisters, the sparkle of imagination and how even the most motley of half lives can somehow coalesce into a shining whole."- Houston Chronicle "Wild, witty and as funny as it is unsettling. The Death of Bees is that rare thing: a family-values black comedy."- Christian Science Monitor "O'Donnell walks a fine line, describing appalling events without ever allowing the novel to lose its warm heart. "In this first novel she pulls off the unusual pairing of grisly and touching."- New York Times ![]()
