THE BEE STING - PAUL MURRAY GEBUNDEN

Longlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize From the author of Skippy Dies comes Paul Murray's The Bee
Sting  an irresistibly funny  wise  and thought-provoking tour de force about family  fortune 
and the struggle to be a good person when the world is falling apart. The Barnes family is in
trouble. Dickie's once-lucrative car business is going under-but Dickie is 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 and half-heartedly dodging the attention of fast-talking cattle
farmer Big Mike  while their teenage daughter  Cass  formerly top of her class  seems
determined to binge drink her way through her final exams. As for twelve-year-old PJ  he's on
the brink of running away. If you wanted to change this story  how far back would you have to
go? To the infamous bee sting that ruined Imelda's wedding day? To the car crash one year
before Cass was born? All the way back to Dickie at ten years old  standing in the summer
garden with his father  learning how to be a real man? The Bee Sting  Paul Murray's exuberantly
entertaining new novel  is a tour de force: a portrait of postcrash Ireland  a tragicomic
family saga  and a dazzling story about the struggle to be good at the end of the world.
