THE HONEYS IS INCREDIBLE! It has so much to say about gender roles and tradition, about grief and emotional distance, about nature and its connectivity. It is also surreal and terrifying and fascinating. Love a book at leaves you with more questions than answers. I've never read anything quite like it before. CANNOT recommend highly enough.
