The Bee Sting by Paul Murray.

Shannon

“This was the last book I couldn’t put down. Story of a dysfunctional Irish family, both funny and heartbreaking. And that ending.”

Megan P

“Who doesn’t love a dysfunctional family novel? There are sections dedicated to each member, with one particularly experimental one which will likely test your patience, but god it is good.”

Marcy

““each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”: POV shared by four members of a miserable, disconnected, dysfunctional nuclear family on the brink of financial/interpersonal collapse in rural Ireland. The writing/story is incredible and brings you along for what feels like a frantic, tragically exhilarating race to the bottom.”
