Bee Season

by Myla Goldberg

Why I read it?:

Yes, let’s ask this. I was reading it because I thought Myla Goldberg was going to be my professor. Obviously I didn’t read close enough because, although Myla is a professor here, my professor is Myra Goldberg. Good job, Lily.

What I thought about it?:

This book is not one I would usually read, but it is unusually interesting. The premise is strange and you root for the main character, Eliza, to be noticed and exalted, but things don’t go exactly how you expect them to go. Also, if you are not a fan of religion, this book might not be the right choice for you (or it may prove your point against religion).
