book I just finished: Bee Season by Myla Goldberg
Goldberg has skill, and crafts an intriguing story, but in the telling she bogs the reader down in narrative minutia. The initial tale of a 9-year-old spelling bee prodigy diverts into an explosive commentary on family dysfunction and Jewish mysticism. Grade: B-
