This book was fascinating, touching, and informative – and the writing made it really easy and pleasurable to read! Despite the ease of the read it did give me a lot to ponder about what it means to be a human animal and the way that we interact with other beings. I loved that Helen really made her colony central to the book – all the ‘real-life’ distractions were kept to a minimum and I could almost imagine I was sitting out alongside her at the hive. I’m not extremely tempted to organise my own hive but the neighbours may not be as appreciative…
