Shortlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize.
The Barnes family’s comfortable life is coming apart. Their car dealership is struggling, Dickie is retreating into preparations for disaster, and his wife Imelda is selling possessions to keep things afloat. Meanwhile, their teenage daughter Cass is drifting off course, and twelve-year-old PJ is planning his escape.
Each has a different explanation for how things went wrong—and secrets they would rather leave buried. As financial pressures mount, the past begins to intrude on the present, revealing how little they understand about one another.
Set in Ireland after the financial crash, The Bee Sting is a darkly funny, deeply moving family saga about love, regret and the decisions that shape a life.
