The Bee Sting / Paul Maurray. - Dublin : Penguin Random House, 2024. - 645 stron ; 20 cm.
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?
