This Book is Currently in the Wild!

I'm using tonight to catch up on journal entries I haven't yet made.
A "RECIPE FOR BEES" was a wonderful story told by Augusta who tells her friend Rose her life story. I loved all the bee facts and lore in this novel, it just added that 'extra' touch. I also loved the fact that the main character's name was Augusta which was my Grandmother's first name as well. The Augusta is this story sounds just as endearing as my own Grandmother was.
From back cover:
"As Augusta Olsen awaits news of her dearly loved son-in-law Gabe, who is undergoing brain surgery miles away, she relives the story of her sometimes harsh, sometimes magical life. A Recipe for Bees is saturated with bee lore, and is full of rich, domestic detail, wondrous imagery culled from rural kitchens and gardens, and shining insights into the delights and exasperations of ageing, family and friendships. And at its heart is the life, death and resurrection of an extraordinary marriage."
