A Recipe For Bees
Virago 1999 Paperback, 311pp. Occasionally something ferments inside the lifeless carcass of a marriage, that's where the recipe for bees comes in. Something begins to stir, limbless at first, then with wings, whirring, trying out the thin air, till suddenly, like rain shed from a summer cloud, it bursts out with a force that drives old lovers to do things no one, not even they themselves, thought they were capable of. That's the magic of it. ' Augusta has always been a woman with passions and desires - almost too big for her confined life as farm girl and then farm wife to the sweet but far too passive husband, Karl. Certainly that's what her sturdy friend Rose thinks. Maybe that's why Augusta inherited her mother's dubious gift of second sight (along with the talent for beekeeping). (ISBN: 9781860495281). Good.
